Popular questions
  1. What is calcium acetate used for?

    As a food additive (E263), it’s used as a preservative and stabilizer to inhibit mold growth, help maintain texture, and can aid in buffering acidity in foods.

  2. Is calcium acetate soluble in water?

    Yes—calcium acetate is highly soluble in water; it is poorly soluble in ethanol.

  3. What is the formula for calcium acetate?

    Ca(C2H3O2)2; the common commercial form is the monohydrate, Ca(C2H3O2)2·H2O.

  4. Calcium acetate 667 mg para que sirve?

    Como aditivo alimentario (E263), se usa como conservante y estabilizante para frenar mohos y ayudar a mantener la textura. En medicina, el comprimido/cápsula de 667 mg se usa como quelante de fosfato en enfermedad renal crónica.

  5. Calcium acetate para que sirve?

    Como aditivo alimentario (E263), sirve de conservante y estabilizante, ayudando a controlar la acidez y la textura de los alimentos. Fuera del ámbito alimentario, también se usa como quelante de fosfato en pacientes con enfermedad renal.

  1. How to prepare ammonium acetate buffer solution?

    Dissolve ammonium acetate in water to the desired concentration (e.g., 1 M: about 77 g per liter), then adjust pH to your target with acetic acid (to lower) or ammonia (to raise) and dilute to volume. Use food-/pharma-grade materials and verify pH after mixing.

  2. Is ammonium acetate soluble in water?

    Yes—it's highly soluble in water.

  3. Ammonium acetate dissolves into what ions?

    It dissociates into ammonium (NH4+) and acetate (CH3COO−) ions.

  4. Ammonium acetate in what products contain?

    It may appear in some pickled products, sauces, and baked goods as an acidity regulator/buffer (E264). It’s relatively uncommon and is often replaced by sodium or potassium acetates.

  5. Consider the reaction when aqueous solutions of ammonium acetate and sodium phosphate are combined.?

    All ions remain in solution (no precipitate), leaving NH4+, CH3COO−, Na+, and phosphate species in equilibrium. In a sufficiently basic phosphate solution, some NH4+ can convert to ammonia, making the mixture slightly basic and possibly giving a mild ammonia odor.
