explain the difference between baking soda and washing soda
Answers
Washing soda or soda ash are common names for Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3). Washing soda is a caustic base (able to burn, destroy, or damage organic tissue slowly by chemical action). It is not edible, should not be inhaled, and can damage eyes (flush the exposed areas with large quantities of water). Gloves should always be worn when cleaning with washing soda.
WHAT IS BAKING SODA?
Baking soda is the name commonly used for Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Baking soda is a mild base that is commonly used as a leavening agent to raise baked goods. It is edible and is mild enough to be used as toothpaste or taken as an antacid. Baking soda is edible but should not be inhaled and can irritate eyes.
~~Baking soda is a pure white powder with fine, dusty granules that cannot be felt.
∆Baking soda granules are easy to dissolve in water and rinse clean
∆It is a mildly abrasive cleaner that is good for scrubbing.
~~Washing soda is a white-ish powder with larger granules that can be seen and felt.
∆Washing soda granules dissolve slowly in water and will leave a white residue if not well rinsed.
∆It makes a more abrasive cleaner that can scratch delicate surfaces but cleans well.

Washing soda and baking soda are both natural substances made from a mineral called trona. Processing trona produces sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. Both are white crystalline powders.
