Causes serious eye irritation. May cause respiratory irritation. Avoid breathing dust.
Chemically they are identical (Na2CO3). The difference is bulk density. Dense is heavier (0.9-1.1 g/ml) and preferred for glass making. Light (0.5-0.7 g/ml) dissolves faster and is used for detergents.
No. Soda Ash is Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3). Baking Soda is Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Soda Ash is much more alkaline and not typically for direct consumption.
Yes, it is used to remove 'permanent hardness' caused by calcium and magnesium sulfates in industrial and home water systems.
It should be stored in a dry, cool area. Being hygroscopic, moisture exposure will cause it to form hard lumps known as caking.
