Can sodium carbonate be obtained directly by treating a solution containing (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 with sodium chloride in the Solvay process?
Options
- AYes, because (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 reacts with sodium chloride to form sodium carbonate.
- BNo, because (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 is not involved in the Solvay process.
- CYes, but additional steps are required to convert (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 to sodium carbonate.
- DNo, because (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 reacts with sodium chloride to form NH 4 Cl, not sodium carbonate.
Correct answer
D. No, because (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 reacts with sodium chloride to form NH 4 Cl, not sodium carbonate.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) No, because (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 reacts with sodium chloride to form NH 4 Cl, not sodium carbonate.
