Question 1 Report

Which of the following is a waste product in the Solvary Process for the manufacture of sodium trioxocarbonate (IV)?
Answer Details
The Solvay process is a method used to produce sodium trioxocarbonate (IV), also known as sodium bicarbonate or baking soda. In this process, limestone (calcium carbonate) is heated to produce quicklime (calcium oxide), which is then reacted with brine (a solution of sodium chloride) in a reactor vessel called a "Solvay tower." The reaction produces sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride as byproducts. Therefore, the waste product in the Solvay process is calcium chloride.
