Sum Formula: 2Na₂CO₃·3H₂O₂
Molar Mass: 314.02 g/mol
Appearance: Colorless to white crystalline, hygroscopic powder

Sodium percarbonate is a solid adduct of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and hydrogen peroxide. It releases hydrogen peroxide when dissolved in water, providing strong oxidizing, bleaching, and cleaning properties. It is commonly used in detergent formulations, stain removers, and as an environmentally friendly bleaching agent.

Chemical and Physical Properties
Density: ~2.1 g/cm³
Melting Point: Decomposes before melting
Boiling Point: Not applicable (decomposes)
Solubility in Water: Freely soluble (releases H₂O₂ and Na₂CO₃)
Solubility in Other Solvents: Insoluble in organic solvents
Odor: Odorless

Applications
Cleaning Products: Used in laundry detergents, carpet cleaners, and household stain removers.
Bleaching Agent: Applied for fabric, wood, and surface bleaching without chlorine.
Organic Synthesis: Used as a mild, solid oxidant in laboratory reactions.
Water Treatment: Employed for oxidation of pollutants and disinfection.
Industrial Cleaning: Utilized in formulations for cleaning brewery equipment, food processing plants, and healthcare facilities.

Important Note
Due to its strong oxidizing properties, excess sodium percarbonate can permanently discolor fabrics or materials. Careful dosage and controlled use are recommended during cleaning applications.
