Annexe Chem 105.99 G Mol Sodium Carbonate USP, CAS No. : 497-19-8

Sodium carbonate is one of the most important starting materials in chemical manufacturing. The anhydrous compound is used in making glass, processing wood pulp, food additives, detergents and cleaners. In the laboratory, sodium carbonate is used in volumetric analysis to standardize acids, and in qualitatively way, for testing cations. This is because sodium carbonate solution gives precipitates for salts of many metals as the metal carbonate or basic carbonate.
