Sodium ethanoate crystallizing. White,needle- like crystals form as sodium ethanoate (sodium acetate) crystallizes out of solution in a glass flask. Crystallization occurs when a saturated solution is allowed to cool,forcing the dissolved salt to slowly build up in its solid,undissolved form. Sodium ethanoate (CH3COONa) is a colourless,water-soluble compound made by reacting ethanoic acid (vinegar) with sodium hydroxide. It is used as a pH buffer in foodstuffs,and in making dyes,soaps and pharmaceuticals,and in photography | |
