A chemical \(A\) is used for the preparation of washing soda to recover ammonia. When \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) is bubbled through an aqueous solution of \(A\), the solution tums milky. It is used in white washing due to disinfectant nature. What is the chemical formula of \(A\) ?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_3\right)_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CaO}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CaCO}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2\) is used in the preparation of washing soda \(\left(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 \cdot 10 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right.\) ) to recover ammonia \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)\).…
