Sodium carbonate

Description:
Sodium carbonate, commonly known as soda ash or washing soda, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na2CO3. It appears as a white, crystalline solid that is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. Sodium carbonate is highly soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution with a pH typically above 11. It is primarily used in glass manufacturing, as a pH regulator in swimming pools, and as a cleaning agent in various household products. The compound is also utilized in the production of sodium bicarbonate and in various chemical processes. Sodium carbonate can be produced through the Solvay process or extracted from natural sources such as trona ore. It is generally considered safe for use in food and industrial applications, although it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact. In terms of environmental impact, sodium carbonate is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it a favorable choice in many applications.
