Na2CO3-10H2O
Sodium carbonate x water --> sodium carbonate (in solution)--> Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate
The equation for the dehydration of sodium carbonate decahydrate (washing soda) is: [ Na2CO3 · 10H2O \rightarrow Na2CO3 + 10H2O ]
Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3(the more familiar compound, baking soda, is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3)
The formula Na2CO3 represents sodium carbonate, a compound composed of sodium ions (Na+) and carbonate ions (CO3^2-). It reveals that in sodium carbonate, there are two sodium ions for every one carbonate ion, leading to a balanced electrically neutral compound.
Sodium dihydrogen carbonate is not a proper chemical name and therefore has no formula, because carbonate anions have only two negative charges and therefore can not form a neutral compound with one sodium atom and two hydrogen atoms. The closest analogous compound is sodium hydrogen carbonate, which has the formula NaHCO3.
The correct name of the compound Na2CO3·10H2O is sodium carbonate decahydrate.
The compound is called sodium carbonate decahydrate.

Sodium carbonate decahydrate
Formula: X.7H2OX is a compound
Sodium carbonate decahydrate is the name of the compound Na2CO3·10H2O, because 'deca' means 'ten'.The term hydrated sodium carbonate is commonly used to encompass the monohydrate (Na2CO3·H2O), the decahydrate and the heptahydrate (Na2CO3·7H2O).Both the hepta- and the decahydrate are partially transformed into the monohydrate thermonatrite Na2CO3·H2O when left over in dry air.Anhydrous (no H2O) sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is formed when heating Na2CO3·H2O or NaHCO3 or Na3H(CO3)2·2H2O (trona) up to 150o-200oC (this is called calcination).
The formula for sodium sulfate decahydrate is Na2SO4·10H2O. The compound consists of two sodium ions, one sulfate ion, and ten water molecules.
The chemical formula of sodium carbonate is Na2CO3.
Yes, sodium carbonate can form hydrates, such as sodium carbonate decahydrate (washing soda). This means that the compound contains a specific number of water molecules within its crystal structure.
The compound Na2CO3.4H2O is sodium carbonate decahydrate, which consists of molecules of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with 4 water molecules (H2O) attached to each sodium carbonate molecule. It is a white, crystalline solid that readily loses its water molecules upon heating.
Technically it is a mixture called a hydrate. This particular one is sodium carbonate decahydrate.
Natron is a naturally occurring mineral compound primarily composed of sodium carbonate decahydrate and sodium bicarbonate. It has been historically used in ancient Egypt for various purposes, including mummification, cleaning, and as a food additive.
