White soda ash is a white, odorless, water-soluble powder known as sodium carbonate (Na2CO3cap N a sub 2 cap C cap O sub 3𝑁𝑎2𝐶𝑂3). It is a strong alkaline chemical used in many industries for applications such as glass manufacturing, soap and detergent production, water treatment, and pulp and paper processing. The “light” form has a lower bulk density than “dense” soda ash, making it easier to dissolve in water for specific uses like pH adjustment in chemical processes
