CAS Number: 141-53-7
Molecular Formula: HCOONa
IUPAC Name: Sodium Formate
Molar Mass: 68.01 g/mol
Appearance: Typically appears as a white deliquescent powder.
Purity: Commercially available sodium formate often has a purity of ≥95% to ≥99% depending on the supplier.
Preparation
Sodium formate can be synthesized through several methods:
Neutralization Reaction: It is commonly produced by neutralizing formic acid with sodium hydroxide:
HCOOH + NaOH -HCOONa + H2O
Carbon Monoxide Reaction: Another method involves the reaction of carbon monoxide with sodium hydroxide under specific conditions (high temperature and pressure):
CO + NaOH–HCOONa
By-product Formation: Sodium formate is also generated as a by-product in the synthesis of pentaerythritol and during the crossed Cannizzaro reaction of formaldehyde.
