CAS 1313-59-3
:Sodium oxide
Description:
Sodium oxide, with the chemical formula Na2O and CAS number 1313-59-3, is an inorganic compound that appears as a white, solid substance. It is primarily formed by the reaction of sodium with oxygen, typically at elevated temperatures. Sodium oxide is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, which can lead to the formation of sodium hydroxide upon contact with water. This compound is a strong base and can react vigorously with acids to form sodium salts. In terms of its physical properties, sodium oxide has a high melting point and is soluble in water, producing alkaline solutions. It is commonly used in the production of glass and ceramics, as it acts as a flux to lower the melting temperature of silica. Additionally, sodium oxide plays a role in various industrial processes, including the manufacture of sodium-based chemicals. Due to its basic nature, it can also be utilized in chemical synthesis and as a catalyst in certain reactions.
