Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The percentage efficiency for the given process should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The Solvay process also known as ammonia-soda process is an industrial process used in the production of sodium carbonate. In this process, limestone is used to produce CO2(g) that reacts with ammonia which is dissolved in the brine solution.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason for the requirement of ammonia in little amount should be determined.
