Correct Answer: Na2CO3.10H2O


Solution : The correct answer is Na2CO3.10H2O.

Sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na2CO3·10H2O), also known as washing soda, is the most common hydrate of sodium carbonate, having 10 molecules of water of crystallization. Soda ash is dissolved in water and crystallized to get washing soda.

Na2CO3+10H2O⟶Na2CO3⋅10H2O
