Sodium Ethanoate 200 g Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Sodium Ethanoate 200 g (Product Code: SCI-499/214) is an analytical reagent grade pack of sodium acetate, the sodium salt of ethanoic acid, used for supersaturation demonstrations and acetate-ion tests in school and college chemistry laboratories. The 200 g quantity comes with its MSDS and suits teachers assembling a crystallization kit for school classes. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Sodium Ethanoate Used For?

Sodium ethanoate makes one of the most striking crystallisation demonstrations in school chemistry. A hot, concentrated solution cooled undisturbed in a clean flask stays liquid well past its saturation point; dropping in a single seed crystal sets off rapid crystal growth that spreads through the flask and releases noticeable heat — the principle behind reusable hand warmers.

In qualitative analysis it supplies acetate ions for students to identify: neutral iron(III) chloride turns an acetate solution deep red, and warming a little of the salt with ethanol and a few drops of concentrated sulphuric acid gives the fruity smell of ethyl ethanoate. Both tests appear in most salt analysis schemes, so keep the pack tightly closed to protect it from moisture between practicals.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of 200 g packs required.
• Whether your supersaturation recipe assumes the anhydrous salt or the trihydrate, so we can confirm the form supplied.
• Any ferric chloride, ethanol or glassware needed for the acetate tests.
• Extra MSDS copies for each laboratory store that will hold the salt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sodium Ethanoate 200 g used for?
Sodium Ethanoate 200 g is used for supersaturation and crystallisation demonstrations, for acetate-ion tests in salt analysis, and for preparing acetate buffers with ethanoic acid. The analytical reagent grade pack is sized for a school or college chemistry store.

How does the supersaturated sodium ethanoate demonstration work?
A hot concentrated solution of Sodium Ethanoate is cooled slowly without disturbance, so it holds more dissolved salt than it normally could at that temperature. Adding one seed crystal triggers rapid crystallisation through the whole flask, and the mixture warms noticeably as the crystals form.

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. This listing, SCI-499/214, supplies it as a 200 g analytical reagent grade pack with MSDS, and the hydrate form should be confirmed when you order.

How should Sodium Ethanoate be stored?
Store Sodium Ethanoate in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry cabinet, because it can take up or lose water depending on its form and the room humidity. It is not among the more hazardous salts in a school store, but students should still wear goggles and follow the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of Sodium Ethanoate 200 g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so Sodium Ethanoate 200 g is not sold with a fixed shelf-life figure. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and reseal the pack promptly after use.

Can Sodium Ethanoate 200 g be supplied for export?
Yes, Sodium Ethanoate 200 g can be quoted for dealers and institutions outside India as well as within India. Share the number of packs, the destination country and any import documents your side requires, and we will prepare a quotation with the relevant export details.
