( coarse powder )
Sodium Carbonate, also known as
Washing Soda or Soda Ash is a Sodium Salt of Carbonic Acid. When heated to
very high temperatures, combined with sand (SiO2) and Calcium
Carbonate, and cooled very rapidly, glass is produced. It is often used as
an electrolyte and since it is relatively strong base, it is used as an
acidity regulator to raise PH of solutions.
