Natriumcarbonatløsning

Natriumcarbonatløsning refers to an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), commonly known as washing soda or soda ash. Sodium carbonate is an inorganic salt that readily dissolves in water. The concentration of the solution can vary depending on the intended application. When dissolved in water, sodium carbonate undergoes hydrolysis, producing a mildly alkaline solution due to the formation of hydroxide ions. This alkalinity makes it effective as a cleaning agent and in various industrial processes. The pH of a natriumcarbonatløsning typically ranges from around 11 to 12, depending on its concentration. Common uses include household cleaning, water softening, and in the manufacturing of glass and detergents. It can also be used in laboratories as a reagent. Care should be taken when handling concentrated solutions as they can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Dilute solutions are generally safe for most common applications.
