Question

Na2CO3 can be manufactured by Solvay process but K2CO3 cannot be prepared because: (A) K2CO3 is more soluble (B) K2CO3 is less soluble (C) KHCO3 is more soluble than NaHCO3 (D) KHCO3 is less soluble than NaHCO3

Na2CO3 can be manufactured but K2CO3 cannot be prepared by Solvay process because KHCO3 is more soluble than NaHCO3 and does not precipitate out.

Q. $N a_{2} C O_{3}$ can be manufactured by Solvay process but $K_{2} C O_{3}$ cannot be prepared because:

$K_{2} C O_{3}$ is more soluble

$K_{2} C O_{3}$ is less soluble

$KH C O_{3}$ is more soluble than $N a H C O_{3}$

$KH C O_{3}$ is less soluble than $N a H C O_{3}$

$N a_{2} C O_{3}$ can be manufactured but $K_{2} C O_{3}$ cannot be prepared by Solvay process because $KH C O_{3}$ is more soluble than $N a H C O_{3}$ and does not precipitate out.
