Natriumformiat
Natriumformiat, or sodium formate, is the sodium salt of formic acid. Its chemical formula is HCOONa. It appears as a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and relatively stable at room temperature. When exposed to strong heating, it decomposes to form formic acid and a sodium-containing residue.
Production methods typically involve neutralizing formic acid with sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate, yielding sodium formate
Sodium formate has several practical uses. It serves as a chemical intermediate and a buffering agent, providing
Safety and environmental aspects: Sodium formate has relatively low acute toxicity but can irritate the skin,
