One fun fact about sodium acetate is that it can be added to food products for extra flavoring. Ironically, it is also used to seal concrete against water damage.

How is sodium acetate made and why is it?
You add either sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate to acetic acid, and receive a solution of sodium acetate in water. Driving off the water will give you sodium acetate crystals. Hundreds of tons a year are made of this because it has hundreds of uses, so most people who need some just buy it. In a school science lab the safe way to make it is to mix baking soda with vinegar then boil off the water with a hot plate. If you have a factory you make this out of sodium hydroxide and glacial acetic acid, then pour the sodium acetate solution into a pond to evaporate, like they do to get the salt out of seawater.
What are some examples of a buffer?
Some examples of a buffer are mixture of ammonium hydroxide with ammonium chloride & mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate.
How do you distinguish sodium hydroxide and sodium acetate?
To test presence of Sodium ions, do a flame test: color observed: golden yellow. To test presence of carbonate or hydrogen carbonate ions: Take some of the sodium hydrogen carbonate in a dry test tube. Heat the test tube and bubble the gas through limewater. Limewater turns milky. Carbonate or hydrogen carbonate ions present. To distinguish between carbonate and hydrogen carbonate: Add indicator solution. If colour of solution turns green, pH is 7-8, hydrogen carbonate ions are present. If colour of solution turns blue, pH is 12-13, carbonate ions are present. -Iberuz
What is acetite?
acetite: since acetate is used for nomenclature of a species (ion) with more oxygens, and acetite would be the same ion but with one less oxygen for example: sodium acetate (CH3COO- Na+ ) would be the species (ion) with more oxygens although it doesnt exist : sodium acetite (CH3CO- Na+) would be the species (ion) with less oxygens there are some acetite species that due exist (for example Ammonium acetite (CH3CO- NH4+) in generale , acetite refers to the CH3CO- ion in a species
What is meant by 99 percent assay of ethyl acetate?
That is the concentration of the compound within a solvent. It's basically the purity of your sample of the compound (in this case ethyl acetate). So it could be equal to or greater than 99% ethyl acetate and the rest would be ethanol or some chemical that the ethyl acetate is dissolved in.
Does sugar have sodium acetate?
Sugar is an organic compound with the major ingredient sucrose. There might be some other carbohydrates in little amounts. There is no sodium acetate present in sugar.
What are some Chemical equations for oxidation of sodium acetate?
Sodium Acetate Can be fond in 2 forms. Either anhydrous or trihydrate. Oxidation reaction with anhydrous form is easier than trihydrate form. First form has reaction similar to that of Oxidation of Acetic Acid. Trihydrate form is a bit more complex and I'm still loking into it

If you mix sodium bromide and silver acetate what will this create?
The acetate would combine with the bromide, leaving the silver in the sodium solution. With the sliver you could blow up the world Alas not so exciting. Mixed as solids, nothing would happen. Silver acetate has limited solubility in water, but if a solution were mixed with sodium bromide, you would probably see some off-white silver bromide precipitate.

Some examples of a buffer are mixture of ammonium hydroxide with ammonium chloride & mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate.

Salts: sodium chloride, barium nitrate, uranyl acetate, plutonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate etc.
