Answer:

Hey Mate...Good Morning...here's you're answer...

Reason:

Washing soda is an efflorescent salt. This salt when exposed to air loses water of crystallisation and crumbles down to form powder. Thus it loses weight when exposed to atmosphere.

When sodium carbonate crystals are exposed to air They lose water of crystallization and turn to white powder. This process of loosing water of crystallization when exposed to air is called efflorescence.
