Is Ammonium acetate and Sodium acetate the same thing?

No, Sodium acetate (NaCH3CO2) contains the positive ion of sodium (Na+), a highly reactive metal. It is the product of acetic acid (CH3CO2H) reacting with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Sodium acetate is mildly basic. Ammonium acetate (NH4CH3CO2H) contains the ammonium ion (NH4+) a polyatomic ion composed of the nonmetal nitrogen and hydrogen. It is the product of ammonia (NH3) reacting with acetic acid. Ammonium acetate is neutral.


What is NH4CH3COO?

This chemical formula is for ammonium acetate.


What is main ingredients of the salts?

Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion (a nonmetal etc.).


Is ammonium a metal or nonmetal?

ammonium NH4 does not state that is a metal or non metal because it has valency 1 that is a properties for a metal but also has nitrogen and hydrogen are both present in it which are both non metals , so it cannot be stated that ammonium is a metal or non metal.


What are Mineral salts?

Two main components: a metal (or ammonium) as cation and an anion.


Is Acetate a metal or non-metal?

Acetate is not any single substance, but a group or ion found in certain esters and salts. It is composed of the nonmetals hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. Because it is not an element it cannot properly be considered a metal or a nonmetal.


What is the chemical formula of ammonium acetate NH4C2H3O2?

According to Wikipedia, the formula for ammonium acetate is CH3COONH4 (or C2H4O2.NH3 or C2H7NO2). According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) the formula for ammonium acetate is C2H7NO2.


What the purpose of the ammonium acetate in the gravimetric determination of aluminum as oxinate?

The purpose of the ammonium acetate in the gravimetric determination of aluminium as oxinate is as a buffer. As more ammonium acetate is added, this caused the complex of the aluminium in the solution to precipitate after the yellow supernatant was formed. Excess ammonium acetate is needed to ensure all of the crystals precipitated out completely.


How do you adjust pH of ammonium acetate solution to?

the pH of ammonium acetate buffer can be adjusted with glacial acetic acid (concentrate or diluted )


Is ammonium acetate a strong or weak electrolyte?

Ammonium is a weak acid.


Is ammonium acetate organic or inorganic?

it is organic


How do you make 50mM ammonium acetate solution?

One mole of ammonium acetate is equal to 77.08g (this is the formula weight, FW, of ammonium acetate, which can be found on the side of the bottle). Another way of representing this is 77.08/mol (so, in one mole of ammonium acetate, there are 77.08grams of ammonium acetate).We have to use the FW value to calculate molarity (moles of solute per L of solvent).I am not sure what volume of the 50mM solution is desired, so I will assume that you need 1 L.50mM is equal to 50milli-moles of solute/1 L of solvent, which is the same as 0.05moles/L. This is what the math looks like:77.08g/mol ammonium acetate x 0.05mol/L = 3.854g/LSo, to make a 50mM solution of ammonium acetate in 1L of water, you will need to dissolve 3.854g of ammonium acetate into 1L of water.
