No, epsom salt, which is magnesium sulfate, or MgSO4 that is hydrated (MgSO4·7H2O), is chemically different from aluminum acetate. The latter has several forms, including aluminum monoacetate, (HO)2AlC2H3O2, aluminum diacetate, HOAl(C2H3O2)2, and aluminum triacetate, Al(C2H3O2)3.

How are sodium chloride and Epsom salts the same?
No. Epsom salt (usually "Epsom Salts" as if plural) is a salt: magnesium sulphate. Washing soda is sodium carbonate, an alkali. Two totally different compounds.
What carboxylic acid makes acetate salt?
A salt is an ionic compound formed by the neutralization of charge. Take a simple strong acid like HCl. When dissociated, it yields H+ and Cl-. If you introduce sodium (Na+), the Na+ will form an ionic bond with the Cl- to form NaCl (table salt). The positive charge on the Na and the negative on the Cl neutralized each other to form a neutral stable compound we call a salt. The same concept applies to any acid, including carboxylic acids. Take acetic acid (CH3COOH). It can dissociate into CH3COO- (acetate) and H+ giving the end oxygen a negative charge. Again, let's introduce Na+ to the system. The Na+ will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged oxygen on the acetate to form sodium acetate (CH3COONa). The formation of an ionic bond between Na and acetate balanced the charges, so we call this a salt as well. Since it was made from a carboxylic acid, we can call it a "carboxylic acid salt".
Is ethyl acetate or diethyl ether is same?
No.. Ethyl acetate is C2H5COOCH3 and Diethyl ether is C2H5OC2H5
Is acetone and acetate the same?
Acetone and acetate are not the same. Acetone is a violate, flammable manufactured liquid that is colorless. Acetate is a synthetic fabric, filament, or yarn.
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.
Is Epsom salt the same as salt peter?
No.
Is epsom salt and sea salt the same?
Sea salt is sodium chloride - NaCl. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate - MgSO4.7H2O.
Is glauber salt the same as epsom salt?
No it's not the same at all.
What is the chemical equation of epsom salts?
MgSO4 or magnesium sulfate is the same as epsom salt
How are Epsom salt and table salt the same?
No. While not poisonous, Epsom salt is not sodium chloride; it is magnesium sulfate.
Is induppu same as Epsom salt or Induppu contains Magnesium Sulfate?
Induppu is not Epsom Salt. Indppu is Rock Salt containing Potassium (KCl) Epsom Salt contaains Magnesium (MgSO4) Sulphate. Common salt contains Sodium (NaCl)
Is Eno salt same as Epsom salt?
No, they are not similar.
Is borax and Epsom salt has the same cleaning properties?
No, they are different.
Is bitter salt and Epsom salt the same?
Yes. They are both names for magnesium sulfate.
Are epsom salts soluble in water?
Yes, it is soluble in water. Epsom salt is the same as MgSO4 (magnesium sulfate)
How are Epsom salts and table salts the same?
They are different compounds: table salt is sodium chloride, Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate. They are ionic salts.
Can table salt be used in place of Epsom's salt?
Not really. Table salt is Sodium chloride whereas Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate and is composed of magnesium, sulfur and oxygen and unlike table salt, it has to be refined before it has any particular use. Table salt will not have the same muscle relaxing effect as Epsom salts, and you may find table salt more drying to the skin.
