Marking-scheme solution
(a) \(\displaystyle \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} \cdot 10 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} /\) washing soda / sodium carbonate decahydrate
(b) \(\displaystyle \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{NH}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\)
\[\begin{aligned}
& 2 \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \xrightarrow{\text { heat }} \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\
& \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+10 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} \cdot 10 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
\end{aligned}
\]
(c) $\displaystyle 10$
