उत्तर
Ca(OH)2
Explanation:
The chemical formula of A is Ca(OH)2. Sodium carbonate is prepared by Solvay's process. In this process, ammonia is recovered when ammonium chloride reacts with calcium hydroxide. On reacting NH4Cl with Ca(OH)2, calcium chloride is obtained as a by-product. The reaction is given below.
\[\ce{2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 -> 2NH3 + CaCl2 + H2O}\]
When CO2 is bubbled through an aqueous solution of Ca(OH)2 the solution turns milky. It is used in whitewashing due to its disinfectant nature.
