Based on the provided reference, substances associated with sodium are considered adequately water soluble. The reference provides specific solubility information for a substance referred to as "sodium" and for Sodium Carbonate.
According to the reference:
-
For "sodium" (associated with a solubility of 359 g/L):
- At 20°C, its solubility is 359 g/L.
- This is described as "adequately water soluble".
- Its solubility is nearly temperature independent.
-
For Sodium Carbonate (Na₂CO₃):
- It is also considered "adequately water soluble".
- Its solubility at 20°C is 220 g/L.
This means that when referring to the solubility characteristics presented in the reference, both the substance indicated with 359 g/L solubility and Sodium Carbonate are well-dissolved by water.
Solubility Data Summary
Here is a quick look at the solubilities mentioned:
| Substance | Formula | Solubility at 20°C | Water Solubility Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Sodium" | N/A | 359 g/L | Adequately water soluble |
| Sodium Carbonate | Na₂CO₃ | 220 g/L | Adequately water soluble |
Note: The reference specifies "solubility of sodium" with a value of 359 g/L. While elemental sodium (Na) famously reacts vigorously with water rather than simply dissolving, this is the specific term and value provided in the reference to describe its water interaction in terms of solubility. Many common sodium compounds are indeed highly soluble in water, contributing to the general perception that substances containing sodium tend to dissolve well. The reference specifically highlights Sodium Carbonate as another example.
