Sodium Carbonate (CAS 497-19-8, CNa2O3) is an odorless, small crystal or crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 105.988 g/mol. It is stable under ordinary conditions, becoming anhydrous upon heating above 100 °C. Sodium Carbonate dissolves freely in water with a solubility of 30.7 g per 100 g of water at 25 °C, resulting in a strongly alkaline solution. When ordering, consider the specific grade required (technical grade) and ensure the need for respiratory protection during handling. Density is reported at 2.54 g/cm³.
