Did You Know?
Sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash, has been used historically in glassmaking and soap production, making it one of the oldest industrial chemicals known to humanity. In chemistry education, it provides a clear example of a basic salt that reacts predictably with acids to release carbon dioxide gas. Naturally occurring sodium carbonate deposits form in dry lake beds, illustrating how geological processes can produce substances still essential to modern science and industry.
