Sodium Acetate

Product Code : SCL-LC-12276

The Sodium Acetate Lab Chemical is an acetate salt reagent used for supervised chemistry experiments, buffer preparation, equilibrium demonstrations, hydrolysis lessons, and controlled solution work. It is suitable for schools, colleges, chemistry laboratories, science departments, institutional tenders, distributors, and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

Sodium Acetate from Science Lab Supplies is intended for controlled educational and laboratory use where an acetate salt reagent is required. The exact hydrate form, grade, assay, pack size, physical form, batch number, shelf life, SDS, COA, and regulatory documents must be confirmed before final publication or quotation.

Sodium acetate is commonly written as CH₃COONa or C₂H₃NaO₂ in anhydrous form. It is also commonly supplied as sodium acetate trihydrate, written as CH₃COONa·3H₂O or C₂H₉NaO₅. In teaching laboratories, it supports lessons on acetate ions, buffer systems, salt hydrolysis, and chemical equilibrium.

Key Features

• Acetate salt reagent: suitable for supervised chemistry teaching and approved laboratory solution preparation.
• Buffer chemistry support: commonly used with acetic acid in acetate buffer and equilibrium demonstrations.
• Hydrate verification required: formula weight differs between anhydrous and trihydrate sodium acetate.
• Teaching-lab relevance: supports lessons on salts, weak acid-conjugate base systems, pH, and hydrolysis.
• Solution preparation use: suitable for approved reagent solutions where the SOP and SDS permit.
• Pack size verification: supplied quantity and container type must be confirmed from the final quotation.
• Documentation-led procurement: SDS, COA, assay, batch number, and shelf-life details should be verified before use.

How to Use the Sodium Acetate

1. Read the current SDS, product label, and institutional risk assessment before use.
2. Confirm the hydrate form before weighing, because anhydrous and trihydrate forms have different formula weights.
3. Wear suitable PPE, including lab coat, gloves, and eye protection.
4. Use only the quantity required by the approved laboratory procedure.
5. Measure the chemical with a clean, dry spatula or weighing tool.
6. Prepare solutions only in approved glassware or containers using the stated method.
7. Label prepared solutions with chemical name, concentration, date, hydrate form, and safety notes.
8. Dispose of residues according to institutional chemical-waste rules.

Safety note: Use Sodium Acetate only in supervised laboratory procedures. Do not ingest, inhale dust, mix with unknown chemicals, or prepare unlabelled solutions without SDS review and teacher or technician supervision.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from moisture-sensitive records, incompatible chemicals, food items, and unlabelled containers.
• Use clean, dry tools and avoid returning unused material to the original pack.
• Maintain SDS, COA, batch number, hydrate form, pack size, and shelf-life records for audit control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sodium Acetate used for in a laboratory?

Sodium Acetate is used as an acetate salt reagent for supervised chemistry teaching, buffer preparation, equilibrium demonstrations, pH lessons, and approved solution work.

What is the formula of Sodium Acetate?

The anhydrous formula is CH₃COONa or C₂H₃NaO₂. If supplied as trihydrate, it is written as CH₃COONa·3H₂O or C₂H₉NaO₅.

Is Sodium Acetate the same as Sodium Ethanoate?

Yes. Sodium acetate and sodium ethanoate are common names for the sodium salt of acetic acid. The hydrate form and grade should still be verified from the label.

What grade is supplied?

The grade is not confirmed. Add LR, AR, ACS, analytical, technical, assay, or purity details only after verifying the product label, COA, or datasheet.

Is Sodium Acetate suitable for school chemistry labs?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised school and college chemistry laboratories when handled by trained users under approved practical procedures and SDS-based safety controls.

Does it include SDS or COA?

SDS and COA availability must be confirmed for the final supply. These documents should be requested before procurement, storage, transport, classroom use, or disposal planning.
