Commercial samples labelled ammonium carbonate no longer contain this compound, but a mixture that has similar ammonia content. Since it readily degrades to gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide upon heating, it is used as a leavening agent and also as smelling salt.
It has a cooling alkaline taste, and can be extracted from the ashes of many plants. It is synthetically produced in large quantities from table salt in a process known as the Solvay process. Uses. 1  Sodium carbonate's most important use is in the chemical make-up of glass.2  When heated at very high temperatures, combined with sand (SiO2) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and cooled very rapidly, sodium carbonate can be used to form a transparent non-crystalline material, commonly known as glass.t has a cooling alkaline taste, and can be extracted from the ashes of many plants.
