Sodium carbonate is prepared by Solvay process. Which of the following compounds is obtained as a by-product?

Options

  1. ANH4ClN{H}_{4}Cl
  2. BNH3N{H}_{3}
  3. CCO2C{O}_{2}
  4. DCaCl2CaC{l}_{2}

Correct answer

D. CaCl2CaC{l}_{2}

Step-by-step solution

Here CaCl2CaC{l}_{2} is formed as a by-product
NH3+H2O+CO2→NH4HCO3N{H}_{3} + {H}_{2}O + C{O}_{2} \to N{H}_{4}HC{O}_{3} …(i)
Na++Cl−+NH4++HCO3−→NaHCO3(ppt.)+NH4++Cl−N{a}^{+} + C{l}^{-} + N{H}_{4}^{+} + HC{O}_{3}^{-} \to \mathop{NaHC{O}_{3}}_{( ppt . )} + N{H}_{4}^{+} + C{l}^{-} …(ii)
For step (i), CO2C{O}_{2} is produced by heating limestone.
CaCO3→CaO+CO2CaC{O}_{3} \to CaO + C{O}_{2}
CaO so-obtained is slaked with H2O{H}_{2}O and NH4ClN{H}_{4}Cl produced in step (ii) reacts to form CaCl2CaC{l}_{2} as a by-product.
CaO+H2O→Ca(OH)2→NH4ClCaCl2+2NH3+2H2O\text{CaO}\text{+}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} \text{O} \to {\text{Ca(OH)}}_{\text{2}} \overset{{\text{NH}}_{\text{4}} \text{Cl}}{\to} {\text{CaCl}}_{\text{2}} \text{+}{\text{2NH}}_{\text{3}} \text{+}{\text{2H}}_{\text{2}} \text{O}
