Question

sodium acetate formula

Answer 1

\[\large{CH_3COO Na}\]

Answer 2

right?

Answer 3

Sodium cation is:\[Na^+\]Acetate anion is:\[CH_3CO_2^-\]

Answer 4

C2H3NaO2

Answer 5

Nope. You write the cation first.

Answer 6

\[NaCH_3COO\]

Answer 7

right ..... but someone told me that

it will be CH3 COO Na

Answer 8

NaCH3COO
It can also be written as CH3COONa or NaC2H3O2.
CH3COONa is probably the best way to write it because it reflects that the positively charged sodium ion is associated with the negative charge that shifts back and forth between the two oxygens as the double bond resonates back and forth.

Answer 9

Yes, because the sodium is bonded to the oxygen. Both are accepted ways of writing sodium acetate.

Answer 10

thanks a lot @Xishem and @abayomi12 .. for clearing my doubt

thanks

Answer 11

NaC2H3O2 is the simplest way to express sodium acetate as a formula
