Sodium acetate is an anhydrous form of acetic acid. It is a common reagent for acid-base equilibria in solution. It is also a buffer to maintain the pH of a solution. Sodium acetate is used as a source of carbon for culturing bacteria. It is also a photoresist for aniline dyes and a pickling agent in chrome tanning. It is also used to prevent the vulcanization of chloroprene in synthetic rubber production.
Ionic compounds are formed by the chemical reaction of metals and non-metals. When metals react with each other, they lose electrons to form ions that instantly attract each other. The ions are then balanced in an ionic compound, which is shown as a crystal lattice of ions with a formula (ratio of positive to negative ions).
Method 1: First, you should identify each atom as a cation or nonmetal. In most cases, the cation is a metal; it can be a potassium, oxygen, or lithium ion.
Once you have identified the cation, you can quickly decide which of the other atoms is the nonmetal. This is because the convention for identifying an ionic compound is to write the symbol and charge of the cation, followed by the number of the anion, which can be a nonmetal.
This is similar to the way that you would identify a halogen ion. These halogens, such as chlorine, are often found as a halide ion, which is a mixture of a cation and a chloride anion. However, they are also frequently found in complex ionic compounds, which have several cations and anions, like the hydrated salts of calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
