      soap, glass, paper, etc., and as alkaline agent in many
      chemical industries. called also sal soda, washing
      soda, or soda. cf. sodium bicarbonate, and trona.

      carbonate. it is a strong alkali, and is used in the
      manufacture of soap, in making wood pulp for paper, etc.
      called also sodium hydrate, and caustic soda. by
