Sodium nitrite is added to meats to produce an appealing and fresh red color to the consumer.

Sodium hydroxide is a multi-million-ton per annum commodity chemical.

Sodium nitrite is used for the curing of meat because it prevents bacterial growth and, in a reaction with the meat's myoglobin, gives the product a desirable dark red color.

Sodium nitrate is used to remove air bubbles from molten glass and some ceramics.

* Sodium, a very common electrolyte ; not generally found in dietary supplements, despite being needed in large quantities, because the ion is very common in food: typically as sodium chloride, or common salt.

Sodium ( ) is a chemical element with symbol Na ( from ) and atomic number 11.

Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite and rock salt.

Sodium is an essential element for all animals and some plants.

Sodium at standard temperature and pressure is a soft metal that can be readily cut with a knife and is a good conductor of electricity.

Sodium is generally less reactive than potassium and more reactive than lithium.

Sodium metal is highly reducing, with the reduction of sodium ions requiring − 2. 71 volts but potassium and lithium have even more negative potentials.

Sodium is now produced commercially through the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, based on a process patented in 1924.

Sodium is also used as an alloying metal, an anti-scaling agent, and as a reducing agent for metals when other materials are ineffective.

Sodium chloride is extensively used for anti-icing and de-icing and as a preservative ; sodium bicarbonate is mainly used for cooking.

Sodium hydride is used as a base for various reactions ( such as the aldol reaction ) in organic chemistry, and as a reducing agent in inorganic chemistry.

Sodium chloride is the principal source of sodium in the diet, and is used as seasoning and preservative, such as for pickling and jerky ; most of it comes from processed foods.

Sodium is also important in neuron function and osmoregulation between cells and the extracellular fluid, their distribution mediated in all animals by Na < sup >+</ sup >/ K < sup >+</ sup >- ATPase ; hence, sodium is the most prominent cation in extracellular fluid.

* Soda glass, common glass made with Sodium carbonate or Sodium oxide

Sodium nitrite is made industrially by passing " nitrous fumes " into aqueous sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate solution:

Sodium is a highly reactive element and is easily lost by reacting with the arc tube, made of aluminum oxide.

Sodium sulfur cells can be made space-qualified ; in fact a test sodium sulfur cell was flown on the Space Shuttle to demonstrate operation in space.

In 2004 Erythromelalgia became the first human disorder in which it has been possible to associate an ion channel mutation with chronic neuropathic pain ; this became possible when a Yale neurologist spotted a Beijing geneticists team paper in the Journal of Medical Genetics titled " Mutations in SCN9A, Encoding a Sodium Channel Alpha Subunit, in Patients With Primary Erythromelalgia "; a connection was made that this sodium channel mutation was expressed primarily in peripheral pain sensing neurons.

Zenker is usually made with 50g of Mercuric chloride, 25g of Potassium dichromate, 10g of Sodium sulfate ( decahydrate ) and distilled water to complete 1000 ml.

Sodium carbonic hydrocarbonate-chloride ( i. e. salt-alkaline ) water of springs # 4 and # 17, which have made the health resort popular, are the most famous and therapeutically valuable.

Sodium content in bulk may be determined by treating with a large excess of uranyl zinc acetate ; the hexahydrate ( UO < sub > 2 </ sub >)< sub > 2 </ sub > ZnNa ( CH < sub > 3 </ sub > CO < sub > 2 </ sub >)· 6H < sub > 2 </ sub > O precipitates, which can be weighed.

Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt ( Sodium chloride | NaCl ) in water.

Sodium hydroxide cleans glass by dissolving a tiny layer of silica, to give soluble silicates.

* Sodium chloride ( common table salt ), developed by silver nitrate.

Sodium hydroxide formed at the cathode by the process of chemical electrolysis kills the hair matrix cells.

Sodium bicarbonate can be an effective way of controlling fungus growth, and in the United States is registered by the Environmental Protection Agency as a biopesticide.

Sodium bicarbonate can be used to extinguish small grease or electrical fires by being thrown over the fire.

Sodium carbonate ( soda ) was produced by the Leblanc process until 1880, when the much cheaper Solvay process became available.

Linocuts can also be achieved by the careful application of Sodium hydroxide in a paste to parts of the surface of the lino.

Sodium deficiency exists in grazing animals where soil sodium levels have been depleted by leaching.

Sodium supplementation increased liveweight gain by around 30 % and also reproductive rates by around 30 %.

Atomics International was responsible for a number of accomplishments relating to nuclear energy: design, construction and operation of the first nuclear reactor in California ( a small aqueous homogeneous reactor located at the NAA Downey plant ), the first nuclear reactor to produce power for a commercial power grid in the United States ( the Sodium Reactor Experiment located at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory ) and the first nuclear reactor launched into outer space by the United States ( the SNAP-10A ).

* Ireland – Irish Derby Stakes won by Sodium

* Sodium thiopental, the first intravenous anesthetic, is synthesized by Ernest H. Volwiler with Donalee L. Tabern of Abbott Laboratories.

Sodium cocoate is produced by hydrolysis of the ester linkages in coconut oil with sodium hydroxide, a strong base.

The first part, supervised by Richards, concerned " The Electrochemical Behavior of Liquid Sodium Amalgams "; the second, supervised by Kohler, was " A Study of Certain Cyclopropane Derivatives ".

* Sodium absorption is affected by the release of interleukin-6 as this can cause the secretion of arginine vasopressin which, in turn, can led to exercise-associated hyponatremia ( dangerously low sodium levels ).

In the United Kingdom, Tuinal, Seconal and Sodium Amytal are manufactured by Flynn Pharma of Ireland.

Sodium silicate is produced by fusing sodium with sand or heating both ingredients under pressure.

* Sodium and potassium levels are controlled by secreting K < sup >+</ sup > and absorbing Na < sup >+</ sup >.
