Product information

    Sodium carbonate, commonly known as soda ash or washing soda, is a basic compound with a high pH. When you add sodium carbonate to water, it increases the pH of the solution. The pH of a sodium carbonate solution depends on the concentration of the solution and the amount of sodium carbonate added.

    • The usage ratio of sodium carbonate to adjust the pH of a solution depends on several factors, including the initial pH of the solution, the desired pH level, and the volume of the solution. The best approach is to add sodium carbonate incrementally while monitoring the pH until the desired level is reached. Here are some general guidelines: Start with a small amount: Add a small amount of sodium carbonate to the solution, such as a teaspoon for a small volume. Stir the solution thoroughly and measure the pH. Measure pH: Use a pH meter or pH test strips to measure the pH of the solution. If the pH is still below the desired level, continue adding small amounts of sodium carbonate. Repeat as needed: Continue this process until the desired pH is achieved. Remember that the pH will rise as you add more sodium carbonate. Caution: Be cautious not to overshoot the desired pH. If the pH becomes too high, you may need to add an sodium bisulphate to bring it back to the desired level. Record your additions: Keep a record of the amount of sodium carbonate added and the corresponding pH measurements. This information can be helpful for future adjustments and maintaining consistency.
    • Keep in mind that handling chemicals, including sodium carbonate, should be done with care. Always follow proper safety precautions and guidelines when working with chemicals.

    Features and benefits

      Pure water has a neutral pH of 7. When you add sodium carbonate, the pH typically rises above 7, making the solution basic. The pH will increase as you add more sodium carbonate.


      The specific pH increase depends on the concentration of the sodium carbonate solution and the initial pH of the water. If you are using sodium carbonate to adjust the pH of a solution, it's essential to measure the pH regularly and add small amounts of sodium carbonate incrementally to achieve the desired pH level.
