1.	In the Solvay process , can we obtain sodium carbonate directly by treating the solution containing (NH_(4))_(2) CO_(3) with sodium chloride ? Explain .
Answer» Solution :In Solvay process , we cannot obtain directly SODIUM carbonate by treating the solution CONTAINING `(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3)` with sodium chloride because both `Na_(2)CO_(3)` and `NH_(4)Cl` are highly soluble and the equilibrium will not shift in the FORWARD DIRECTION `(NH_(4))_(2) CO_(3) + 2 NaCl hArr Na_(2)CO_(3) + 2 NH_(4)Cl`
