Best Answer

The formula of the 'mono-sodium alginate' monomere is NaC6H7O6

[It is a linear copolymer withhomopolymeric blocks of

(1-4)-linked β-D-mannuronate (M) and its C-5epimer α-L-guluronate (G) residues, respectively,covalently linked together in different sequences or blocks.

The monomers can appear in homopolymeric blocks of consecutive G-residues (G-blocks), consecutiveM-residues (M-blocks), alternating M and G-residues (MG-blocks), or randomly organized blocks]

Water (deionized) dissolves sodium alginate (slow in cold water, faster in hot, but it is not very easy to dissolve, it may take days of constant stirring). Sodium alginate is insoluble in all organic solvents I know about. Alginic acid is insoluble in *anything* (that doesn't react with it chemically).
