  2. Sodium carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_carbonate

    Sodium carbonate is obtained as three hydrates and as the anhydrous salt: sodium carbonate decahydrate , Na 2 CO 3 ·10H 2 O, which readily effloresces to form the monohydrate. sodium carbonate heptahydrate (not known in mineral form), Na 2 CO 3 ·7H 2 O. sodium carbonate monohydrate (thermonatrite), Na 2 CO 3 ·H 2 O. Also known as crystal ...

  3. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .

  4. Solvay process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_process

    One idea is to react carbon dioxide, produced perhaps by the combustion of coal, to form solid carbonates (such as sodium bicarbonate) that could be permanently stored, thus avoiding carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere. [20] [21] The Solvay process could be modified to give the overall reaction: 2 NaCl + CaCO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O → 2NaHCO ...

  5. Sodium percarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_percarbonate

    Sodium percarbonate or sodium carbonate peroxide is a chemical substance with empirical formula Na 2 H 3 CO 6. It is an adduct of sodium carbonate ("soda ash" or "washing soda") and hydrogen peroxide (that is, a perhydrate ) whose formula is more properly written as 2 Na 2 CO 3 · 3 H 2 O 2 .

  6. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    If it is the result of a reaction between a strong acid and a strong base, the result is a neutral salt. Weak acids reacted with weak bases can produce ionic compounds with both the conjugate base ion and conjugate acid ion, such as ammonium acetate. Some ions are classed as amphoteric, being able to react with either an acid or a base. [59]

  7. Mannheim process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannheim_process

    The Mannheim process is an industrial process for the production of hydrogen chloride and sodium sulfate from sulfuric acid and sodium chloride. [1] The Mannheim furnace is also used to produce potassium sulfate from potassium chloride. [2] The Mannheim process is a stage in the Leblanc process for the production of sodium carbonate.

  8. Carbonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonation

    Carbonation is the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide to give carbonates, bicarbonates, and carbonic acid. [1] In chemistry, the term is sometimes used in place of carboxylation, which refers to the formation of carboxylic acids. In inorganic chemistry and geology, carbonation is common.

  9. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    Catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase, carbon dioxide (CO 2) reacts with water (H 2 O) to form carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3), which in turn rapidly dissociates to form a bicarbonate ion (HCO − 3) and a hydrogen ion (H +) as shown in the following reaction: [2] [3] [4]
