Sodium Acetate Anhydrous
Introduction
Sodium Acetate Anhydrous formula is CH3COONa, with a CAS Number of 127-09-3. It is an anhydrous form of the Sodium salt of Acetic acid.
Molecular weight: 82.034 g/mol
Density: 1.528 g/cm3
Melting Point: 324°C
Boiling Point: 881.4°C.
Anhydrous Sodium Acetate is a white, crystalline powder highly soluble in water. It is moisture-sensitive and incompatible with potent oxidizing agents and halogens.
Sodium Acetate Anhydrous Production
Vishnupriya Chemicals Private Limited manufactures Sodium acetate anhydrous with a well-qualified and experienced production team.
Sodium hydroxide neutralizes Acetic acid to form an Anhydrous Sodium acetate solution. The solution is heated to evaporate off the water to get Anhydrous Sodium acetate crystals.
Key Properties
→ Hygroscopic and deliquescent
→ White crystalline powder
→ Odourless
→ Highly soluble in water
→ Weak base compound (pH 7.5-9.5)
Anhydrous Sodium Acetate Uses:
Sodium acetate anhydrous is a preservative, flavour enhancer, pH regulator, sour agent, seasoning agent, buffering agent, polymerization catalyst, polymer stabilizer, plating agent, pickling agent, and electrolyte replenisher.
