About Sodium Carbonate Anhydrous, Lab Grade
Sodium Carbonate is also known as Disodium Carbonate, Soda Ash, Bisodium Carbonate, Washing Soda, Calcined Soda, and Solvay Soda. Its anhydrous form appears as colorless-to-white hygroscopic crystals, granules, or powder with no odor and taste. It is freely soluble in Water and insoluble in Alcohol at ambient conditions. When dissolved in water, it produces Carbonic Acid and Sodium Hydroxide. It is the Disodium Salt of Carbonic Acid and possesses alkalinizing properties. On a commercial scale, it is produced via the Solvay process by processing Limestone, Ammonia, and Brine.
Lab grade chemicals possess reasonable purity but do not comply with any official standard for quality or purity like the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, or the FCC Grade. The Lab Grade is also known as Laboratory Reagent (LR) and Chemically Pure (CP). It is highly recommended for educational institutes and research labs.
