Did You Know?
Sodium acetate is famous for its role in reusable hand warmers, where a supersaturated solution rapidly crystallizes and releases heat when triggered. This same behavior makes it a powerful teaching tool for illustrating phase changes, energy transfer, and metastable systems in chemistry. In the laboratory, sodium acetate is also widely used to create buffer solutions, helping students understand how pH stability is maintained in chemical and biological systems.
