Sodium Acetate Trihydrate (3H2O) Pure 500g, also known as Sodium Ethanoate, is a high‑quality Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade inorganic salt widely used in educational chemistry laboratories. This white, crystalline solid is highly soluble in water and is valued for its versatility in both practical experiments and classroom demonstrations.
Supplied in a 500g container, this product carries CAS Number 6131‑90‑4 and does not require a UN classification. It is suitable for routine laboratory use under appropriate supervision and is commonly used by teachers and technicians to support a broad range of chemistry investigations in secondary schools and colleges.
Sodium Acetate Trihydrate is widely used in KS3, GCSE, and A‑Level chemistry lessons, supporting the teaching of acids, bases, salts, and energy changes. Its predictable behaviour and safety profile make it well suited for supervised practical work and teacher‑led demonstrations.
Reliable, easy to handle, and highly versatile, Sodium Acetate Trihydrate is an excellent teaching aid that supports effective practical learning while reinforcing good laboratory technique and safe working practices in educational science environments.
