This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
In the Solvay process, carbon dioxide is transferred through a concentrated solution of ammoniacontaining sodium chloride, which forms ammonium carbonate followed by ammonium hydrogen carbonate. The chemicals in ammonium hydrogen carbonate are different and are heated to form sodium carbonate. NH3 is found in a solution containing NH4Cl that is heated and treated with Ca (OH)2? The reaction of (NH4)2CO3 with NaCl provides two products, Na2CO3 and NH4Cl both soluble in water which do not shift to the right balance.
