The Solvay process for the manufacture of sodium carbonate begins by passing ammonia and carbon dioxide through a solution of sodium chloride to make sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride. The equation for this reaction is H2O + NaCl + NH3 + CO2 NH4Cl + NaHCO3 In the next step, sodium bicarbonate is heated to give sodium carbonate and two gases, carbon dioxide and steam. 2NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O What is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate, expressed in grams, if 159 g of NaCl were used in the first reaction? If 78.8 g of Na2CO3 was obtained, what was the percentage yield?
