Answer

The compound whose one formula unit is associated with 10 water molecules is sodium carbonate $\left( Na _2 CO _3 \cdot 10 H _2 O \right)$ commonly known as washing soda. It is prepared by heating baking soda and then recrystallizing the product so obtained.The equations related to the above reaction is:
$2\text{NaHCO}_3\xrightarrow{\ \Delta\ \ \ }\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3\ +\ \text{H}_2\text{O}\ +\ \text{CO}_2$
$\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3\ +\ 10\text{H}_2\text{O}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3.10\text{H}_2\text{O}$
Two uses of washing soda are:
  1. It is used in glass, soap and paper industries.
  2. It is used for removing permanent hardness of water.
