Na2CO3 is a white powder at room temperature. It is soluble in water. Its melting point is 851 ̊C (1563.8 ̊F), boiling point 1600 ̊C (2912 ̊F), density 2.54 g/cm3. Na2CO3 can be used to soften hard water such as Ca2+ rich water.
Example Reactions:
• (NH4)2CO3 + 2NaOH = Na2CO3 + 2NH3 + 2H2O
• 2HCl + Na2CO3 = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
• 2NaHCO3 = Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O
• Na2CO3 + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + H2CO3
• CO2 + 2NaOH = Na2CO3 + H2O
• Ca(NO3)2 + Na2CO3 = 2NaNO3 + CaCO3↓
• Na2CO3 + CuSO4 = Na2SO4 + CuCO3↓
• 2AgNO3 + Na2CO3 = Ag2CO3↓ + 2NaNO3
• Na2CO3 + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + CO2 + H2O
• Na2CO3 + CaCl2 = CaCO3↓ + 2NaCl
