Best Answer

Sodium carbonate is the sodium salt of carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is also called carbon dioxide which is the bubbles is soda pop. Sodium Bicarbonate is the double sodium salt of carbonic acid. Another name for Sodium Bicarbonate is baking soda which releases carbon dioxide when heated to make bread rise. Boiling Sodium Bicarbonate in water to dryness leaves behind a white residue of Sodium carbonate. Sodium percarbonate is combination of two Sodium carbonates with 3 hydrogen peroxide to make a dry powder sometimes used in whitening powders.

Is hydrogen peroxide the same as sodium carbonate proxyhidray?

Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate (also called sodium percarbonate) is not the same as hydrogen peroxide -- but when it is dissolved in water, it releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate ("washing soda"). The sodium carbonate increases the bleaching action of the hydrogen peroxide. It also acts as a water softener, which makes any added detergent more effective. Sodium percarbonate is commonly used as a non-chlorine laundry bleach.


Is sodium percarbonate ionic?

Yes, sodium percarbonate is an ionic compound. It consists of the sodium cation (Na+) and the percarbonate anion (CO3^2-), which are held together by ionic bonds.


What is the chemical formula for percarbonate?

The sodium percarbonate has the formula Na2CO3.3H2O2.


What are the ingredients in Oxyclean Is is bad for the environment?

The active ingredient is Sodium percarbonate. Sodium percarbonate breaks down to Hydrogen Peroxide (an oxidizer) and Sodium carbonate, which acts as a laundry detergent booster, by acting as a water softener. Also there is some Sodium Silicate in there. This ingredient bonds to heavy molecules and pulls them out of the wash water. It is fairly safe for the environment in moderate amounts. The carbonate is slightly caustic and hydrogen breaks down naturally.

What is in OXICLEAN?

OxiClean®Sodium Percarbonate:According to research by Laundry Alternative, OxiClean® consists of 50 to 60 percent sodium percarbonate. Sodium percarbonate must be added to water to be activated. When activated, it breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate in solution. The bubbling action, or the release of oxygen molecules, loosens stain molecules from fibers so they can be rinsed away.Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate): Sodium carbonate, or soda ash, is also sold separately as washing soda. As one component of activated sodium percarbonate, it boosts the water's pH, making it more alkaline, which neutralizes acids that may be produced during the cleaning process so the stain molecules can be rinsed away easily. When properly dissolved, the pH of OxiClean® can be as high as 11. Some items, such as carpeting, have warranty limitations or recommended pH cleaning of no more than 10.Hydrogen Peroxide:The hydrogen peroxide component of the activated sodium percarbonate works as a bleach and sanitizer. It breaks down into oxygen and water.Surfactants (Detergents): OxiClean® contains low-sudsing surfactants to complete the cleaning process. These are non-ionic detergents, which are neutral and do not react to hard water ions.
