Sodium tungstate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2WO4. This white, water-soluble solid is the sodium salt of tungstic acid. It is useful as a source of tungsten for chemical synthesis. It is an intermediate in the conversion of tungsten ores to the metal.
Treatment of sodium tungstate with hydrochloric acid gives the trioxide:
Na2WO4 + 2 HCl → WO3 + 2 NaCl + H2O
This reaction can be reversed using aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.
