Sodium carbonate CAS #497-19-8

Sodium carbonate (497-19-8), Na2CO3, is the sodium salt of carbonic acid. The pure product is a white, odorless powder with strong alkalinity. It is highly hygroscopic. It is easily soluble in water to form a moderately alkaline aqueous solution.
Sodium carbonate is widely used in various fields around the world. One of the most important applications of sodium carbonate is in the manufacture of glass. According to statistical information, about half of the total production of sodium carbonate is used to make glass. In the glass production process, sodium carbonate acts as a flux in the melting process of silicon dioxide.
