Why add sodium carbonate with sodium chlorite in air freshener?

Sodium carbonate (NaCO3) is a weak base and sodium chlorite (NaCl3O) is a good oxidizing agent. Many foul odors contain thiol (-SH) groups. Sodium clorite oxidizes the thiols to thioethers (-S-S-), which have no (or little) odor. The reaction occurs more readily at high pH (hence the addition of base).

What substance would you add to NaHCO3(aq) to form a buffer solution?
Sodium carbonate and and sodium hydrogen carbonate form a buffer solution.
What happens to the temperature when you add citric acid to sodium carbonate?
akshay
What happens when you add sodium hydrogen carbonate and HCl?
NaCl+H2CO3
What happens when you add sodium carbonate to an unknown substance?
EXPLOSION that is what will happen.
How can we make a solution of sodium carbonate?
Take water in a beaker. Add sodium carbonate to it and stir till sodium carbonate dissolves. However for scientific or any practical purpose, take a fixed weight of sodium carbonate and dissolve in a definite volume of water and calculate the concentration in terms of molarity or weight per volume etc.
What forms when we add sodium carbonate and copper sulphate?
sodium carbonate + copper sulfate ===> copper carbonate (s) + sodium sulfateNa2CO3(aq) + CuSO4(aq) ===> CuCO3(s) + Na2SO4(aq)

Why is it important to add sodium chloridne to water when making homemade ice cream?
If you add calcium carbonate to 100g of water at 25oC, only 0.0014g of it will dissolve. Additional calcium carbonate will not dissolve.
What is the procedure for making and isolating sodium chloride from sodium carbonate?
put the mixture in water and add hydrochloric acid the carbonate becomes decomposed when no further bubbles appear by adding hydrochloric acid then heat the mixture till dryness and get the solid sodium chloride.
What reaction can be performed to tell the difference between sodium carbonate and sodium sulphate?
Add a few drops of a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid to sample of the substance. If it is sodium carbonate then it will bubble carbon dioxide: Na2CO3 + HCl -> NaCl + CO2 (unbalanced) In the other case, it won't.
How do you distinguish sodium hydroxide and sodium acetate?
To test presence of Sodium ions, do a flame test: color observed: golden yellow. To test presence of carbonate or hydrogen carbonate ions: Take some of the sodium hydrogen carbonate in a dry test tube. Heat the test tube and bubble the gas through limewater. Limewater turns milky. Carbonate or hydrogen carbonate ions present. To distinguish between carbonate and hydrogen carbonate: Add indicator solution. If colour of solution turns green, pH is 7-8, hydrogen carbonate ions are present. If colour of solution turns blue, pH is 12-13, carbonate ions are present. -Iberuz
Why do you add sodium carbonate solution for Fmoc ptotection?
to make the solution basic enough so that NH be prepared for Fmoc protection
Why you add sodium carbonate to the mixture during preparation of ester?
This will react with any unreacted acid and allow the scent of the ester to be more obvious
