Sodium Acetate Trihydrate is a hydrated form of sodium acetate, which is a sodium salt of acetic acid. It is commonly found in the form of colorless, transparent, or white crystalline needles or granules. The "tri" in its name indicates that it contains three molecules of water of crystallization.

Appearance: Sodium Acetate Trihydrate appears as colorless, transparent, or white crystalline needles or granules. 

Chemical Formula: CH3COONa · 3H2O (or NaC2H3O2 · 3H2O)

Molecular Weight: 136.08 g/mol

Applications:

1. Hot Ice or Heat Packs: Sodium Acetate Trihydrate is used in heat packs and "hot ice" applications. When it is heated and then allowed to cool, it undergoes a phase change from a liquid to a solid, releasing heat in the process. This property is utilized for heat therapy and warming applications.

2. Chemical Reagent: In laboratories, it serves as a chemical reagent for various chemical processes and experiments.

3. Buffer Solution: It is used in the preparation of buffer solutions in analytical and laboratory work, helping to control pH levels in reactions.

4. Food Additive: In the food industry, it is sometimes used as a food additive and preservative. It can act as a pH regulator and preservative in certain products.

5. Electroplating: Sodium Acetate Trihydrate is used in electroplating as an electrolyte solution for certain types of electroplating processes.
