Sodium Ethanoate
Sodium Ethanoate (Product Code: SCI-400/167) is an analytical reagent grade sodium salt of ethanoic acid, also called sodium acetate, used to prepare buffer solutions and to study salt hydrolysis and crystallisation in school and college chemistry laboratories. Teachers and practical-store managers order it as a 200 g pack supplied with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Sodium Ethanoate Used For?
Mixed with ethanoic acid, sodium ethanoate makes an acetate buffer, the standard example for showing students how a solution resists a change in pH when a few drops of acid or alkali are added. On its own it dissolves to give a mildly alkaline solution, because the ethanoate ion is the conjugate base of a weak acid, so testing it with universal indicator beside a neutral salt demonstrates salt hydrolysis clearly.
It is also the salt behind the supersaturated-solution or hot ice demonstration: a hot, concentrated solution cooled without disturbance stays liquid until a seed crystal is added, then crystallises within seconds and feels warm, proving that crystallisation releases heat. That makes it a natural choice for a crystallization kit in school science clubs, and in organic chemistry heating sodium ethanoate with soda lime is the traditional laboratory route to methane.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sodium Ethanoate the same as sodium acetate?
Yes. Sodium Ethanoate is the systematic name for sodium acetate, the sodium salt of ethanoic (acetic) acid. Sodium Ethanoate SCI-400/167 is analytical reagent grade and comes in a 200 g pack with its MSDS for buffer and hydrolysis practicals.
Can Sodium Ethanoate be used for the hot ice demonstration?
Yes, Sodium Ethanoate is the salt used for the hot ice or supersaturated-solution demonstration. Whether a batch is anhydrous or hydrated changes how much water you add, so ask us to confirm the form of Sodium Ethanoate SCI-400/167 when you request a quotation.
How is Sodium Ethanoate used to make a buffer?
Sodium Ethanoate SCI-400/167 is dissolved together with ethanoic acid to make an acetate buffer, and the ratio of salt to acid sets the pH. Follow the quantities on your practical sheet, weigh the salt accurately, and ask us to quote ethanoic acid alongside it.
How should Sodium Ethanoate be stored?
Store Sodium Ethanoate SCI-400/167 in its tightly closed container in a cool, dry cabinet so the salt stays free-flowing. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Why are there two Sodium Ethanoate listings?
The catalogue also carries a separate Sodium Ethanoate 200 g listing under its own product code. Quote SCI-400/167 in your enquiry if you want this Sodium Ethanoate listing, so the quotation and the delivered packs match the code on your purchase order.
Who supplies Sodium Ethanoate SCI-400/167?
Sodium Ethanoate SCI-400/167 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the reagent and dispatches it with its MSDS to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
