its white..!! just like powder...
Pure sodium carbonate is white.
white
it is a transparent solution
Sodium hydrogen carbonate, also known as baking soda, is a white crystalline powder.
Sodium carbonate is a basic compound, so it will turn pH paper blue in color.
Universal indicator changes to green when sodium bicarbonate is added.
Sodium carbonate will turn red litmus paper blue. This is because sodium carbonate is a basic compound and can neutralize the acidity in the red litmus paper, causing it to change color.
Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3(the more familiar compound, baking soda, is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3)
When litmus indicator is put in sodium hydrogen-carbonate (a mild base), it turns blue. Sodium hydrogen-carbonate, also known as sodium bicarbonate, has a basic pH, which causes the blue color change in the litmus paper. In acidic solutions, litmus would turn red, but in this case, the basic nature of sodium hydrogen-carbonate results in a blue coloration.
Yes: hydrogen carbonate is a stronger acid, and therefore a weaker base, than carbonate.
Red to blue due to hydrolysis
The color of an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate in the presence of phenolphthalein would be pink. Phenolphthalein turns pink in basic solutions with a pH above 8.2. Sodium carbonate is a basic compound that will cause the phenolphthalein indicator to change color to pink.
