Answers
Answer:
Soda Ash Deposits
Soda ash deposits form over a long period of time when natural sodium releases from igneous rocks as they break down. The sodium reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the earth, and soda ash precipitates out. Large deposits of soda ash, or trona, occur in the U.S., China, several African countries, Mexico, Peru, India, Egypt and Turkey. The largest deposit in the world is in Wyoming.
Soda Ash Uses
Soda ash is a principal ingredient necessary for manufacturing glass. It is also used in detergents, photography, medicine and as a food additive.
Baking Soda Uses
Baking soda is used as a leavening agent for baked products, fire retardant, cleansing agent, degreaser and medicine. It also reduces acidity and is used to adjust the pH balance of water. Baking soda is used in the refrigerator because it removes moisture and has deodorizing properties.
Sodium
Sodium, or Na, is a soft metallic element, a highly reactive member of the alkali metals. The sodium ion is soluble in water and is responsible for the salty state of the ocean, and the element is essential to sustain human and animal life. Sodium on its own is dangerous to ingest, as sodium ignites when it comes into contact with water, so the element must be handled carefully. It is a component of many common household compounds, including baking soda, soda ash, borax and table salt.
