30 Sodium carbonate is a vital component of the glass manufacturing industry. (a) By referring to Section 14.9, explain the role that Na+ plays in soda- lime glass. (b) Commercial Na₂CO3 is categorized into 'natural' and 'synthetic'. Distinguish between these and detail the process whereby synthetic Na₂CO3 is manufactured, paying attention to any recycling processes.

Through an analysis of its molecular structure, describe the solubility of zingiberene in water.
A neutral compound A (C7H5N) is reduced to compound B (C7H9N) which is insoluble in water but dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid. Compound B reacts with cold nitrous acid to produce compound C (C7H8O) with the evolution of a colourless gas. Oxidation of compound C produces compound D (C7H6O2). Compound D is also obtained when compound A is boiled with dilute sulphuric acid. Compound D reacts with phosphorus (V) chloride to produce compound E (C7H5ClO). Compound E reacts with compound C to produce compound F (C14H12O2) which is an ester. (a) Draw the structural formula of all the compounds A-F.
