Guest guest Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 Washing soda is Sodium carbonate : A white powdery compound, Na2CO3, used in the manufacture of baking soda, sodium nitrate, glass, ceramics, detergents, and soap. Baking soda: A white crystalline compound, NaHCO3, with a slightly alkaline taste, used in making effervescent salts and beverages, artificial mineral water, pharmaceuticals, and fire extinguishers. Also called bicarbonate of soda, sodium bicarbonate. Note the ratios of Na (Sodium) to carbonate(C03) or just Carbon © Washing soda has Two Sodium ions per one Carbon and in Baking soda it is 1:1 Regards harsha Godavari " raineluvsj " wrote: > Carol asked: What is the difference between " washing soda " and " baking soda " ? > If they are different, where would one buy washing soda?
