Soda and lime are added to a glass batch in the form of soda ash(Na₂CO₃) and limestone (CaCO₃).During heating, these two ingredients decompose to give off carbondioxide (CO₂), the resulting products being soda andlime. Compute the weight of soda ash and limestone that must beadded to 150 lb_m of quartz (SiO₂) to yield aglass of composition 78 wt% SiO₂, 16 wt%Na₂O, and 6 wt% CaO.What is the molecular weight ing/mol of the following:

(a) Na₂O
(b) Na₂CO₃
(c) CaO
(d) CaCO₃
