Performance characteristics

Chinese synonym (vulgo): Soda ash, caustic soda, soda (Soda), and Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate (they were generally transported across the country via Zhangjiakou and Gubeikou, so there is also the term "Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate."), sodium carbonate (dietary alkali). 

Sodium carbonate that exists in nature (such as saltwater lakes) is called trona. 

The sodium carbonate without crystal water is industrially called soda ash light, and the sodium carbonate with crystal water is industrially called heavy alkali. 

Sodium carbonate is a salt, not an alkali. Because the water solution of sodium carbonate is alkaline, it is also called soda ash. 

1.2 Chemical formula: Na2CO3 

1.3 Relative molecular mass: 105.99, it is generally 106. 


Usage tips
