Any chemical reaction; a solution is obtained, containing ions as Na+ and the carboxy group -COOH.
Sodium Ethanoate (Acetate) is a COMPOUND. It is the sodium salt of ethanoic(acetic) acid. It formula is CH3COO^-Na^+
the equation for sodium acetate with water is NaC2H3O2+2(H2O)=Na+C2H3O2(solid).
pH = pKa + log [sodium acetate]/[acetic acid] = Henderson Hasselbalch equation
Sodium acetate is obtained from the reaction of the acetic acid with sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, etc.
acetic anhydride and sodium chloride will form.
Acetic acid
CH3COO4- (C2H3O5-) is the chemical formula of the 2-hydroperoxy-2-hydroxy-acetate anion. Of course if the 4 was a typo for H it would be acetic acid. If there are brackets (CH3COO)4 its the tetracacetate portion of the formula of a salt such as lead(IV) acetate.
Sodium carbonate is a solid reactant. It will form sodium acetate and carbon dioxide with acetic acid. The formual for the solid product sodium acetate is CH3COONa.
sodium acetateThe chemical name for NaC2H3O2 is sodium acetate.
Sodium acetate - the conjugate base to acetic acid
in order to form acetate/acetic acid buffer solution!
sodium acetate and water are formed.
