How is washing soda produced using sodium chloride as one of the raw materials? |
Answer» Answer :-Washing soda is PREPARED by using the sodium chloride as raw MATERIAL as following methods . Step 1:-the sodium chloride is dissolved in water to prepare the concentrated brine solution. Step2:-The carbon dioxide and Ammonia gas is dissolved in concentrated solution of brine to form Ammonium Chloride and sodium bicarbonate. NaCl + H2O + CO2 + NH3 => NH4Cl + NaHCO3 Step3:-The sodium bicarbonate is soluble at room temperature and it is easily SEPARATED from the solution. Step4:-The anhydrous Sodium Bicarbonate is heated and it get DECOMPOSED into washing soda carbon dioxide and water. 2NaHCO3 + ∆ => Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O Step5:-The any HYDROUS sodium bicarbonate is attached with certain water molecules to form the hydrous washing soda. Na2CO3 + 10.H2O => Na2CO3.10H2O |
