[NL., fr.E. soda.] (Chem.)       A common metallic element of the alkali group, in nature       always occuring combined, as in common salt, in albite, etc.       It is isolated as a soft, waxy, white, unstable metal, so       readily oxidized that it combines violently with water, and       to be preserved must be kept under petroleum or some similar       liquid. Sodium is used combined in many salts, in the free       state as a reducer, and as a means of obtaining other metals       (as magnesium and aluminium) is an important commercial       product. Symbol Na (Natrium). Atomic weight 23. Specific       gravity 0.97.          {Sodium amalgam}, an alloy of sodium and mercury, usually             produced as a gray metallic crystalline substance, which             is used as a reducing agent, and otherwise.          {Sodium bicarbonate}, a white crystalline substance,             {HNaCO3}, with a slight alkaline taste resembling that of             sodium carbonate. It is found in many mineral springs and             also produced artificially,. It is used in cookery, in             baking powders, and as a source of carbonic acid gas             (carbon dioxide) for soda water. Called also {cooking             soda}, {saleratus}, and technically, {acid sodium             carbonate}, {primary sodium carbonate}, {sodium             dicarbonate}, etc.          {Sodium carbonate}, a white crystalline substance,             {Na2CO3.10H2O}, having a cooling alkaline taste, found in             the ashes of many plants, and produced artifically in             large quantities from common salt. It is used in making             soap, glass, paper, etc., and as alkaline agent in many             chemical industries. Called also {sal soda}, {washing             soda}, or {soda}. Cf. {Sodium bicarbonate}, above and             {Trona}.          {Sodium chloride}, common, or table, salt, {NaCl}.          {Sodium hydroxide}, a white opaque brittle solid, {NaOH},             having a fibrous structure, produced by the action of             quicklime, or of calcium hydrate (milk of lime), on sodium             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             extension, a solution of sodium hydroxide.
