  1. Sodium hydrogencarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is primarily produced using sodium chloride (NaCl) as a raw material. During the Solvay process, sodium chloride reacts with ammonia and carbon dioxide to form sodium hydrogencarbonate. This reaction occurs under controlled conditions, leading to the precipitation of sodium hydrogencarbonate, which is then processed and dried to yield the final product, baking soda.
