White crystalline compound with formula C₂H₃NaO₂·3H₂O. Produced by neutralizing acetic acid with sodium hydroxide or bicarbonate. Highly soluble in water with pH range of 7-9
Salts are ionic compounds that form crystalline solids when dry. They result from neutralisation reactions between acids and bases. Sodium chloride is the most abundant salt, comprising 3% of ocean mass
SMBS is made from SO2 and Na2SO3 reaction. White crystals or powder soluble in water with pH 4.0-5.5. Produces sodium bisulfite when dissolved in water
Salts consist of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. Ions are held together by electrostatic ionic bonds. Salts can be inorganic (e.g., NaCl) or organic (e.g., acetate). Ions can be monatomic (e.g., Na+) or polyatomic (e.g., NH4+)
Chloride can be an anion (Cl-) or covalently bonded chlorine atom. Chloride ions are larger than chlorine atoms (diameter 167 pm). Most chloride salts are soluble in water
Salts are ionic compounds formed through neutralisation reactions between acids and bases. Basic salts form from strong base and weak acid reactions. Acidic salts result from strong acid and weak base reactions. Neutral salts are formed when both acid and base are strong. Double salts contain multiple anions or cations in same ionic lattice
