Sodium acetate is called a basic salt because a solution of it in initially pure water has a pH value well above the neutral value of 7. This occurs because acetate ions when dissolved in water must come to an equilibrium in the ionic reaction C2H3O2-1 + H2O <-> C2H4O2 + OH-1 and sodium ions when dissolved in water must come to an equilibrium in the ionic reaction Na+1 + H2O <-> NaOH + H+1. Additionally, water itself must maintain an equilibrium in the ionic reaction H2O <-> H+1 + OH-1. The values of these three equilibrium constants are such that the net result is a higher concentration of hydroxide ions than of hydrogen ions in a solution of sodium acetate. These relative concentrations of hydroxide and hydrogen ions is the defining characteristic of a basic (or alkaline) aqueous solution: Such a relative concentration of hydroxide and of hydrogen ions, although not all the other characteristics of a sodium acetate solution, could be achieved by dissolving an appropriate amount of the base sodium hydroxide in initially pure water.
Sodium Ethanoate (Acetate) is a COMPOUND. It is the sodium salt of ethanoic(acetic) acid. It formula is CH3COO^-Na^+
Yes, it contains both. The sodium forms an ionic bond with the one oxygen with a single bond (not double) with the carbon, becoming the cation (positive charge). This oxygen and all other atoms in the acetate form covalent bonds.
basic salt
sodium acetate = Na+C2H3O2- (a salt) nitric acid = HNO3 equation: NaC2H3O2 + HNO3 --> NaNO3 + C2H4O2
Sodium acetate is used in edible goods as a substitute flavoring of salt and vinegar, the taste is improved by adding lactose and smaller percentages of other chemicals.
Sodium Ethanoate (Acetate) is a COMPOUND. It is the sodium salt of ethanoic(acetic) acid. It formula is CH3COO^-Na^+
Yes it is the salt formed from the reaction of Sodium Hydroxide and 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.
something is a strong electrolyte if it is a strong base, strong acid, or a soluble salt. Sodium acetate is in fact a soluble salt because anything with a group one element will dissolve. Sodium Acetate is a strong electrolyte.

Sodium ethanoate , archaically or commercially sodium acetate. CH3COOH + NaOH = CH3COO^-Na^(+) + H2O.
basic salt
Lead (II) chloride is obtained - an insoluble salt in water - and sodium acetate.
it explodes
sodium acetate = Na+C2H3O2- (a salt) nitric acid = HNO3 equation: NaC2H3O2 + HNO3 --> NaNO3 + C2H4O2
HI I WANT KNOW IN ORGANIC SALT LIKE sodium acetate..... DO YOU CAN SEE ME Talented salts....
