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
