This passage describes a chemical reaction. Read the passage. Then, answer the question below.
Soda-lime glass is the most common type of glass manufactured in the world. The "soda" in soda-lime glass does not come from a soft drink. Instead, it comes from a substance called soda ash (Na2CO3). Soda ash is made using the Solvay process, which was developed in the 1860s. In this process, soda ash and calcium chloride (CaCl2) are made from sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
In the chemical reaction described in the passage, which of the following are products? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Soda ash and calcium chloride are the products of the chemical reaction.

In the chemical reaction described in the passage, the products are soda ash
`(Na_2CO_3)` and calcium chloride
`(CaCl_2)`. The reaction is outlined as follows:

`2NaCl + CaCO_3` →
`Na_2CO_3 + CaCl_2`

The passage states that soda ash
`(Na_2CO_3)` and calcium chloride
`(CaCl_2)`are made from sodium chloride
`(NaCl)`and calcium carbonate
`(CaCO_3)`in the Solvay process.

So, soda ash and calcium chloride are the products of the chemical reaction.
