Sodium carbonate, Na2CO

After each hydrothermal reduction experiments, the autoclave was allowed to cool to room temperature and the solution and metal powders were taken out. The powders were filtered, properly washed with distilled water followed by washing with dilute sodium carbonate (Na2COs) solution to neutralize any free acid and finally with distilled water. Percentage precipitation (reduction) of metal was calculated from the analysis of the filtrate by an AAS mentioned above. The metal powders were treated with sodium potassium tartrate (to protect... 

The Solvay process is a multi-step industrial method for the manufacture of sodium carbonate, Na2CO, which is also known as washing soda. Although most of the industrialized world utilizes the Solvay process for production of sodium carbonate, it is not manufactured in the United States because it can be obtained at... 

G.7 A student prepared a solution of sodium carbonate by adding 2.111 g of the solid to a 250.0-mL volumetric flask and adding water to the mark. Some of this solution was transferred to a buret. What volume of solution should the student transfer into a flask to obtain (a) 2.15 mmol Na+ (b) 4.98 mmol CO,2- (c) 50.0 mg Na2CO, ... 

A moment s thought will confirm that the correct answer has been achieved. The only calculation error that could be made in this simple example is to get the factor upside-down (a so called inverted factor ). But, in the reaction, 25 mL of a f = 1.000 solution of Na2COs was neutralised by less than 25 mL of the acid. The acid must clearly be stronger than f = 1.000 if it required only 24.60 mL to neutralise the 25 mL of sodium carbonate. A check of this type should be carried out after every volumetric calculation. It is quick and easy to do and, to paraphrase the great Robert Burns, It wad frae monie a blunder free us, An foolish notion . 

Sodium carbonate buffer 1.0 M NaHC03-Na2C03 buffer, pH 9.5, prepared by titrating 1.0 M NaHCOs with 1.0 M Na2COs until the pH reaches 9.5. 

Sodium carbonate (Na2C03), commonly referred to as soda ash is a lightweight crystalline solid, moderately soluble in water, usually containing 99.3% Na2COs. Soda ash is made commercially by four... 

The procedure of electrodialysis 7) proposed for recovery of Na2CO, uses sea water purified from magnesium, which is fed to the anode while sodium bicarbonate is supplied to the cathode. The two electrodes are separated by a sulfonated anion resin. The net transfer of sodium to the cathode produces a saturated solution of Na2C03. Bicarbonate is regenerated and recycled from a portion of the carbonate product 28,29).
