Sodium Carbonate | MCQs

Explanation

Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) is commonly known as soda ash.

It is used in glass making, detergents, and water softening.

Explanation

Sodium Bicarbonate is the monosodium salt of carbonic acid with alkalinizing and electrolyte replacement properties

Explanation

• Sodium carbonate is produced by the Solvay process, also known as the ammonia-soda process.
• This process was developed by Ernest Solvay in the 1860s.
• It uses salt and limestone as the main ingredients, which are readily available and inexpensive.
• The Solvay process produces roughly three-quarters of the world's supply of sodium carbonate, with the remaining being mined from natural deposits.
