Solution

Sure, here are the processes for the manufacture of NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide), Na2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate), and NaHCO3 (Sodium Bicarbonate).

  1. Manufacture of NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide): Sodium hydroxide is commonly manufactured by the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution. The process is carried out in an electrolytic cell which contains an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (brine). The reactions at each electrode are:

At anode (Positive electrode): 2Cl- (aq) → Cl2 (g) + 2e- At cathode (Negative electrode): 2H2O (l) + 2e- → H2 (g) + 2OH- (aq)

The overall reaction is: 2NaCl (aq) + 2H2O (l) → 2NaOH (aq) + Cl2 (g) + H2 (g)

  1. Manufacture of Na2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate): Sodium carbonate is manufactured by the Solvay process. The steps involved in this process are:

Step 1: Brine purification: NaCl + H2O → Na+ + Cl- + H2O Step 2: Formation of sodium hydrogen carbonate: NaCl + NH3 + CO2 + H2O → NaHCO3 + NH4Cl Step 3: Formation of sodium carbonate: 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

  1. Manufacture of NaHCO3 (Sodium Bicarbonate): Sodium bicarbonate is also produced by the Solvay process. The reaction is the same as the second step in the production of sodium carbonate:

NaCl + NH3 + CO2 + H2O → NaHCO3 + NH4Cl

The sodium bicarbonate is then heated to give sodium carbonate:

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

The overall reaction is: NaCl + NH3 + CO2 + H2O → Na2CO3 + NH4Cl + H2O + CO2
