Question

Sodium carbonate is prepared by Solvay process but the same process is not extended to the manufacture of potassium carbonate beacuse potassium bicarbonate is very soluble and does not crystallize like sodium bicarbonate.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

The Solvay process is used for the manufacture of sodium carbonate. It cannot be used for the manufacture of potassium carbonate as potassium bicarbonate is very soluble and does not crystallize like sodium bicarbonate. Therefore, potassium bicarbonate cannot be filtered out.
