True

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The Solvay process is used for the production of sodium carbonate $(Na_2CO_3)$.It cannot be used for the production of potassium carbonate $(K_2CO_3)$ because potassium hydrogen carbonate $(KHCO_3)$ is highly soluble in water.In the Solvay process,sodium hydrogen carbonate $(NaHCO_3)$ precipitates out because it is sparingly soluble,but $KHCO_3$ remains in the solution,preventing its isolation by this method.
