Is ammonia a raw material of the solvay process? (1 Viewer)

I know the raw materials are Nacl, CaCo3 and NH3, but Is ammonia considered a raw material of the solvay process,
because technically its not RAW, as it is produced from the Haber process.

Yes ammonia is raw material. In the chemistry term raw mean combined/mixed

E.g. when you’re baking a cake the raw material might be flour, eggs, sugar and butter. While butter and eggs are technically aren’t raw they are considered raw in the process

I would not say that ammonia is a raw material.

yes it is used in the solvay process, but it is a product that is formed during the process and because it is recycled, it is not considered a raw material.

I agree with asdfqwerty.

Confirm with your teacher so will know if you can write it in exams
