Sodium carbonate is made from the positive ion of sodium electrostatically bound to the negative carbonate ion. The water molecule has positive and negative regions with the hydrogen atom and oxygen atom respectively. Therefore, sodium carbonate is "supported" in its electrostatic nature by the water, therefore, it dissolves.

Sodium carbonate it is insoluble or soluble?

Sodium carbonate is SOLUBLE. It is an extremely good electrolyte and cleaner. It also removes nasty smells. Make an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate , and it will clean most things. Sodium carbonate has the formulka. Na2CO3. Commercially, it also goes by the name of 'Soda Crystals', or' Washing Soda'. NB All Group (I) metal ions, sodium included, readily dissolve in water to form solution. NNB Sodium chloride ( table salt) Sodium hydrogen carbonate *sodium bi-carbonate) sodium sulphate Sodium nitrate Sodium (acetate) ethanoate Sodium palmate/stearate (soap) Are all souble in water.
