Which of the following is not the raw material in Solvay process?
Which of the following is not the raw material in Solvay process?
Show Hint
Raw materials of the Solvay process:
\begin{itemize}
\item Brine (\(\mathrm{NaCl}\))
\item Limestone (\(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\))
\item Ammonia (\(\mathrm{NH_3}\))
\item Water
\end{itemize}
The major by-product formed is \(\mathrm{CaCl_2}\).
Updated On: Jul 9, 2026
- \(\mathrm{NH_3}\)
- \(\mathrm{NaCl}\)
- \(\mathrm{CaCl_2}\)
- \(\mathrm{Ca(OH)_2}\) \bigskip
Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Concept: Solvay process raw materials: NaCl, NH₃, CaCO₃ (limestone). CaCl₂ is a by-product.
Step 1: CaCl₂ is obtained as by-product, not used as raw material.
Step 2: Write the final answer. \(\boxed{\mathrm{CaCl_2}}\)
