natriumglykolaatti
Natriumglykolaatti, also known as sodium glycolate, is the sodium salt of glycolic acid (hydroxyacetic acid). In chemical terms its formula is NaC2H3O3. The compound forms a mildly basic solution in water because the glycolate anion is the conjugate base of a weak acid.
Natriumglykolaatti is a white to off-white crystalline solid that dissolves readily in water. It is generally
Production of natriumglykolaatti typically involves neutralizing glycolic acid with sodium hydroxide. It can also be prepared
Applications for natriumglykolaatti include use as a buffering agent and pH adjuster in chemical and cosmetic
Safety and handling: sodium glycolate is generally of low acute toxicity but can cause irritation to skin
