Preparation

It is sometimes produced in a laboratory experiment by the reaction of acetic acid with sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, or sodium hydroxide. These reactions produce sodium acetate (aq), water, and carbon dioxide, which leaves the reaction vessel as a gas, is produced by the first two.

CH3–COOH + Na+[HCO3]– → CH3–COO– Na+ + H2O + CO2

This is the well-known "fizzing" reaction between baking soda and vinegar. 84 grams of sodium bicarbonate react with 750 g of 8% vinegar to make 82 g sodium acetate in water. By subsequently boiling off most of the water, one can refine either a concentrated solution of sodium acetate or actual crystals.

Reactions

Sod. acetate can be used to form an ester with an alkyl halide such as bromoethane:

H₃C–COO^– Na⁺ + Br–CH₂–CH₃ → H₃C–COO–CH₂–CH₃ + NaBr

In such a reaction, the sodium acetate is usually complexed with caesium in order to increase the nucleophilicity of the carboxylate group.
