Sodium carbonate (also known as washing soda, soda crystals or soda ash), Na2CO3, is a sodium salt of carbonic acid. It most commonly occurs as a crystalline heptahydrate, which readily effloresces to form a white powder, the monohydrate; and is domestically well known for its everyday use as a water softener. It has a cooling alkaline taste, and can be extracted from the ashes of many plants. It is synthetically produced in large quantities from table salt in a process known as the Solvay process.

Sodium carbonate is a white, crystalline and hygroscopic powder with a purity of > 98 %. There are
two forms of sodium carbonate available, light soda and dense soda. Impurities of sodium carbonate
may include water (< 1.5 %), sodium chloride (< 0.5 %), sulphate (< 0.1 %), calcium (< 0.1 %),
magnesium (< 0.1 %) and iron (< 0.004 %). The purity and the impurity profile depends on the
composition of the raw materials, the production process and the intended use of the product. For
example the purity of the pharmaceutical grade must be higher than 99.5 % in Europe
(Pharmacopée Européenne, 1996).

EFFECTS:(chemistry) It prevents coalescing or to prevent formation or merginf of fats.
(medicine) side effects: Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Less serious side effects may include:

When sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with sodium carbonate, it will undergo a double displacement reaction forming sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. The chemical equation is: NaHCO3 + Na2CO3 -> 2NaHCO3.

Pure sodium carbonate is white.
Sodium hydrogen carbonate is baking powder.

Heating sodium carbonate can cause it to undergo thermal decomposition, breaking down into sodium oxide, carbon dioxide, and water. The decomposition process is usually more pronounced at higher temperatures.
Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3(the more familiar compound, baking soda, is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3)
Yes: hydrogen carbonate is a stronger acid, and therefore a weaker base, than carbonate.
sodium carbonate Formula-Na2Co3
Sodium Carbonate is a base.
Yes, sodium carbonate is a base.
When sodium carbonate is heated, it decomposes to form sodium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. On the other hand, heating sodium hydrogen carbonate causes it to decompose into sodium carbonate, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
Sodium carbonate ---> sodium oxide + carbn diooxide Hoped this helped (:
The effects of sodium carbonate are:Irritation to respitory tractBreathing problemsBurning(internally and externally)Extreme Eye damageTooth erosionNosebleedsCollapseShockHoarsenessThroat swellingSevere chest pain
The word equation for sodium hydrogen carbonate when heated is: sodium hydrogen carbonate (sodium bicarbonate) → sodium carbonate + carbon dioxide + water.
nickel sulfate + sodium carbonate -> sodium sulfate + nickel carbonate
