That should answer all of your questions
Sodium acetate is an organic salt. It's molecular formula: CH3COONa. You can buy it from chemical supply stores.
Sodium acetate is a salt formed due to Nuetralization reaction, it's a reaction formed when an acid and base comes together reacts and forms a salt and water, Sodium Acetate is formed when
NaOH + NaHCO3 ==> CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O
(sodium hydroxide which is abase reeacts with Soduim Bicarbonate to give Sodium acetate , carbon dioxide and water ) I'm too lazy to balance. Its not used for eating its used for textile.
