Sodium carbonate, Na2CO3·10H2O, (also known as washing soda, soda ash, and soda crystals) is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2CO3 and its various hydrates. All forms are white, odorless, water-soluble salts that yield moderately alkaline solutions in water. Historically, it was extracted from the ashes of plants growing in sodium-rich soils. Because the ashes of these sodium-rich plants were noticeably different from ashes of wood (once used to produce potash), sodium carbonate became known as “soda ash.” It is produced in large quantities from sodium chloride and limestone by the Solvay process.
Sodium carbonate is one of the most important salts of sodium, used in manufacturing several other sodium salts. Other major uses are in manufacturing glass, soaps and detergents, pulp, and paper. Also, it is used for washing textiles and wool, in cleaning preparations, for bleaching linen and cotton, in water treatment, and in photography. Sodium carbonate is used as anemetic. Sodium carbonate solution cleanses skin and softens skin rashes. The
salt is a common laboratory reagent with wide applications in analytical.
Sodium carbonate is used by the brick industry as a wetting agent to reduce the amount of water needed to extrude the clay. In casting, it is referred to as a “bonding agent” and is used to allow wet alginate to adhere to gelled alginate. Sodium carbonate is used in toothpaste, where it acts as a foaming agent and an abrasive, and to temporarily increase mouth pH.
Sodium carbonate is also used in the processing and tanning of animal hides
