What is Solvay process?
The '''Solvay process''' is a way to make [[sodium carbonate]] and [[sodium dicarbonate]] invented by [[Ernest Solvay]]. It is essentially the [[chemical reaction|reaction]] of [[carbon dioxide]] with [[ammonia]] and [[sodium chloride]] to produce [[ammonium chloride]] and [[sodium bicarbonate]]. The sodium bicarbonate may be heated to produce [[sodium carbonate]].The process consists of saturation of cold, concentrated solution of sodium chloride with ammonia. ==Related pages== *[[Chemistry]] *[[Ammonium]] *[[Carbonate]] {{chem-stub}} [[Category:Chemical reactions]]
