Pet safety and human safety

Compounds containing sodium percarbonate have been associated with pet bird deaths. Some manufacturers acknowledge this and warn against using the compounds where there are birds.

Mixing sodium percarbonate cleaners with other cleaners has reportedly resulted in adverse reactions and illness in humans. Mixing cleaners should never be done.

This entry should have a safety section. Nicmart (talk) 01:32, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Possible copyright issue

I'm new to this so I'm not really sure what the copyright rules are but this page appears to be copied pretty much word for word from this website:

http://www.norkem.com/productDetail.asp?productID=135&groupID=20&sectionID=1

Is that allowed and if so should it be referenced? Katkatkatrina 11:06, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

No, wholesale copying is not allowed and in such a case referencing alone is not sufficient. I've reduced it for the moment to a so-called stub leaving in only the most obvious facts and adding two neutral links. --Tikiwont 12:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Name, structure, and chemistry

The IUPAC name lists tetrasodium but the structure shows one sodium...and that sodium is uncharged!--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 13:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Erm, I don't even think this is a molecular compound. Perhaps a crystal structure would be more accurate. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

The Chemical reaction equation that is given isn't balanced, and the formula for the peroxyhydrate is incorrect. The chemical has a ratio of 2 sodium carbonate to 3 hydrogen peroxide. In the equation they give here the formula has one sodium carbonate to 3 hydrogen peroxides. The 2 that they put in front of it simply says that there are 2 of the molecules in the reaction, it is not the correct way of indicating that there are 2 sodium carbonates in the formula. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.57.81.111 (talk) 17:58, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't the carbonate be drawn as divalent, not trivalent? Even if the three O's are equally charged in this resonance structure, the total charge should be –2, not –3. (I ask here because the picture file doesn't seem to be visited much.) --Eddi (Talk) 20:56, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Danger

Sodium percarbonate has a DANGER sign on the jar because it is oxygen and should not be used by an open flame. 

I pulled this sentence out of the uses section because it's both unsourced and awful grammar. If anybody wants to revise it and reinsert, go ahead but this sentence as it stands is embarrassing. Wasp32 (talk) 14:53, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Request information be added

I believe it would be useful to list the other, less common, chemical names by which this chemical is known.

• sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate
• sodium carbonate peroxide
• carbonic acid disodium salt compound with hydrogen peroxide
