Anhydrous Sodium Carbonate
Sodium carbonate generally exists in hydrous form with 10 molecules of water of crystallization. It has a formula Na2CO3.10H2O. When this hydrous sodium carbonate is strongly heated, the water of crystallization is lost and we are left with only sodium carbonate. This is known as sodium carbonate anhydrous.
Sodium Carbonate(Na2CO3)
Sodium Carbonate is an alkaline inorganic compound. There are many chemicals and compounds present in our surroundings that have different physical and chemical characteristics as well as different uses. All the things that we see around us are made up of certain compounds.
In this article, we will learn about Sodium Carbonate including its common name, sodium carbonate formula, molar mass, etc. Other than these things, we will also learn, how sodium carbonate is prepared in laboratories (synthesis of sodium carbonate), and the chemical and physical properties of sodium carbonate.
