So, what is sodium .carbonate?

Sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash or washing soda, is a white, odorless powder that is commonly used in various industrial processes and household applications. It has a high alkalinity and is highly soluble in water, making it an effective cleaning agent and water softener. Sodium carbonate is also used in the production of glass, paper, and textiles, as well as in the manufacturing of certain chemicals and pharmaceuticals. While sodium carbonate is generally considered safe, it should be handled with care due to its caustic nature and potential health hazards if ingested or inhaled.
