What is SODIUM BITARTRATE?

Description

Mono sodium tartrate or sodium bitartrate is a sodium salt of tartaric acid. As a food additive it is used as an acidity regulator and is known by the E number E335.

Chemical properties

White, crystalline powder.Soluble in water (aqueous solution in acid); slightly soluble in alcohol. Combustible.

The Uses of SODIUM BITARTRATE

Analysis (testing for potassium), effervescing mixture, nutrient media.

The Uses of SODIUM BITARTRATE

Sodium hydrogen L-tartrate is used for detecting potassium and in nutrient media. It also used as a food additive and an acidity regulator.

The Uses of SODIUM BITARTRATE

Sodium hydrogentartrate may also be used in the preparation of sodium citrate-sodium tartrate reagent, which can complex with interfering metals during the colorimetric estimation of ammonium ions in soil samples. The modification of supported nickel catalysts with sodium hydrogentartrate leads to enhanced enantiomeric excess (ee) during the hydrogenation of methyl acetoacetate.

What are the applications of Application

Sodium hydrogentartrate is a sodium acid salt of tartaric acid

General Description

Sodium hydrogentartrate is an inorganic salt commonly used in qualitative chemical analysis to detect potassium.

Purification Methods

It crystallises from warm water (10mL/g) by cooling to 0o. [Beilstein 3 IV 1219.]
