Sodium Sulfate Molecular Formula: Na2SO4
Sodium sulfate is chemically very stable, being unreactive toward most oxidising or reducing agents at normal temperatures.
The most common uses of sodium sulfate are:
- Soaps and detergents. It is an important ingredient in powdered soaps
- Textiles
- Production of paper and paper pulp and glass
