Question


What is the role of calcium carbonate in the Solvay process?

  1. To provide CO32- for the formation of washing soda
  2. To provide HCO3- for the formation of washing soda
  3. Both A and B
  4. To provide OH- ions for the formation of washing soda

hintHint:

Washing soda is a by product of Solvay process.

The correct answer is: To provide CO32- for the formation of washing soda


    • Solvay process is an industrial method of making sodium carbonate from calcium carbonate and sodium chloride.
    • The calcium carbonate is first heated to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, which is bubbled into a solution of sodium chloride in ammonia.
    • Washing soda(Na2CO3.10H2O) is an intermediate product of Solvay process.
    • The role of calcium carbonate is to provide CO32- for the formation of washing soda.
