Yes, recrystallization of sodium acetate from water is not a very good option. It does has a very high tendency to form supersaturated solutions. But
the main issue for me is its solubility in water which is very high, even a low temperatures (about 40g/100ml). So you end up losing a lot of product
each time. Recrystallization from aqueous EtOH seems a better option, as stated above. I assume a mixture of isopropanol-water
would also work. |
When you say aqueous EtOH, what percentage would you recommend be used? Or does it even matter?
