Solvay process is used in the manufacture of sodium carbonate,

N a_{2} C O_{3} .

This process involves following reactions.

The sodium bicarbonate obtained on heating gives sodium carbonate.

N a H C O_{3} ⟶ Δ N a_{2} C O_{3} + H_{2} O + C O_{2}

Note This process cannot be used in the manufacture of potassium carbonate as potassium bicarbonate is soluble in the solution of

N H_{4} Cl

and KCl.
