Industrial Grade 58%~60% Sodium Acetate White Crystal for Sewage Treatment
Sodium acetate properties
1. Chemical properties
Chemical formula: CH₃COONa
Molecular weight: 82.03 g/mol (anhydrous matter); 136.08 g/mol (trihydrate)
Structure: Composed of the radical acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) and sodium ion (Na +).
pH value: The aqueous solution is weakly alkaline, pH is about 8-9.
2. Physical properties
Appearance:
Anhydrous sodium acetate: white crystalline powder.
Sodium acetate trihydrate (CH₃COONa·3H₂O) : colorless transparent crystal.
Solubility:
Soluble in water, solubility increases significantly with temperature (at 20°C, about 46.5 g per 100 mL of water).
Slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble.
Melting point:
Anhydrous sodium acetate: 324°C.
Sodium acetate trihydrate: 58°C (dehydration decomposition).
Density:
Anhydrous sodium acetate: 1.528 g/cm³.
Sodium acetate trihydrate: 1.45g /cm³.
Hygroscopic: Sodium acetate trihydrate is easy to hygroscopic, and anhydrous sodium acetate hygroscopic is low.
3. Thermal stability
Heated decomposition. When heated to high temperatures, sodium acetate decomposes to
form sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) and methane (CH₄)
Sodium acetate application
