Sodium Carbonate
Sodium bicarbonate is the chemical powder commonly known as baking soda. Its molecular (or chemical) formula is NaHCO3, which indicates that each molecule contains one sodium (Na), hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) atom and three oxygen (O) atoms. Sodium bicarbonate has several uses, from dousing oil fires to a baking ingredient. Its other scientific names include sodium hydrogen carbonate and bicarbonate of soda. Sodium bicarbonate is a white, water-soluble powder. It is soluble at 7.8 grams of powder to 100 grams of water. The powder is extremely fine and has a crystalline shine.The melting point of sodium bicarbonate is 60 degrees Celsius, or 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This chemical does not have a boiling point, nor does it have a flash point as it is non-combustible. It will decompose at temperatures over 70 degrees Celsius.
The density of sodium bicarbonate is 2.159 grams per cubic centimeter.
