Question: NaOH ( Caustic soda ) may be produced in a process from the following reactions: C a C O 3 = CaO + C O

NaOH (Caustic soda) may be produced in a process from the following reactions:
CaCO3=CaO+CO2
CaO+H2O=Ca(OH)2
2NaCl+CaCO3=Na2CO3+CaCl2
Na2CO3+Ca(OH)2=2NaOH+CaCO3
Write the overall reaction for NaOH production using salt (NaCl), limestone (CaCO3) and water (H2O) as raw materials
What are the required feed rates of salt (NaCl), limestone (CaCO3) and water (H2O) required to produce 1000lbm? day of NaOH as a 10% wt solution.
