30 Sodium carbonate is a vital component of the glass manufacturing industry. (a) By referring to Section 14.9, explain the role that Na+ plays in soda- lime glass. (b) Commercial Na₂CO3 is categorized into 'natural' and 'synthetic'. Distinguish between these and detail the process whereby synthetic Na₂CO3 is manufactured, paying attention to any recycling processes.

A chemical element “A" reacts with HNO, to give a solution of compound "B". Thermal decomposition of “B" yields a yellow compound "C". Heating of "C" in oxygen at 500 °C gives a red compound "D" (the mass of the solid is increased by 2.4%) (confirm by calculations). Compound "D" can react with concentrated hydrochlorie acid producing a yellow-green gas and a compound "E". When “D" reacts with the glacial acetic acid, a white crystalline “F" is produced as well as a solution of compound "G". When Cl, gas is passed through the solution of "G", an additional amount of "F" can be produced. When H,S gas is passes through the solution of “B", a black precipitate “H" forms. The latter reacts with H,O, yielding a white compound "I" Determine the molecular formulas of compounds “A"-"I" and write the chemical equations for all mentioned reactions. O2, 500 °C HCI(conc.)
