In volumetric analysis, analytical reagent sodium carbonate is dried, weighed and dissolved to make a standard solution, which is then titrated against hydrochloric acid with methyl orange to find the acid's exact concentration. This makes it a staple reagent for school titration practicals. Its solution also shows that carbonates fizz with acids and that the gas turns lime water milky.
Adding sodium carbonate solution to hard water precipitates calcium and magnesium as insoluble carbonates, a simple model of water softening. In salt analysis it is boiled with the unknown salt to prepare the sodium carbonate extract used for anion tests. Wear eye protection when handling it, since the solution is alkaline and irritating to the eyes.

What grade is Sodium Carbonate SCI-582/138?
Sodium Carbonate SCI-582/138 is analytical reagent grade, suitable for preparing standard solutions in school and college volumetric analysis. It is supplied in a 200 g pack together with an MSDS for safe handling.
Can Sodium Carbonate be used to standardise acids?
Yes. Analytical reagent Sodium Carbonate is widely used to standardise hydrochloric and sulfuric acids after drying to remove absorbed moisture. Follow your laboratory manual's drying and weighing method, and ask us what batch documentation is available with your quotation.
Is Sodium Carbonate the same as sodium bicarbonate?
No. Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) is more strongly alkaline and does not decompose in a Bunsen flame, while sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) gives off carbon dioxide when heated. Both are listed separately in the ScienceLab catalogue.
What is the shelf life of Sodium Carbonate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep Sodium Carbonate tightly closed, because it slowly absorbs moisture from the air.
Who supplies Sodium Carbonate SCI-582/138?
Sodium Carbonate SCI-582/138 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
