Sodium acetate trihydrate (CH₃COONa·3H₂O) is a colorless, crystalline compound that is the hydrated form of sodium acetate. It is widely used in various applications due to its buffering properties, solubility, and non-toxic nature. In the food industry, it serves as a seasoning and preservative, often found in salt and vinegar-flavored snacks. In the laboratory, sodium acetate trihydrate is utilized as a buffer to maintain stable pH levels in solutions. It also plays a role in textile production, acting as a mordant in dyeing processes. Additionally, it is used in the medical field for dialysis solutions and as a component in heating pads, where its exothermic crystallization provides a convenient source of heat. Sodium acetate trihydrate is safe to handle and is readily soluble in water, making it a versatile and useful compound in various fields.

For many learners high school is not enough to prepare them for what they are to face at first year university. They find themselves completely overwhelmed and intimidated by what is expected of them to be able to do in a laboratory.

Unfortunately many learners who want to pursue science subjects go through this dilemma, few as they are because fact is SA is not producing enough learners who will become engineers, doctors, science researchers, let alone science innovators.

To address this, we developed a chemistry kits with 52 experiments for use by learners at home. This gives them an opportunity to gain hand-on exposure and engagement, confidence and understanding they need to study sciences further.

The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school.

Some schools do have kits where only the teacher demonstrates the experiments and this is great, but you don’t master driving by watching the driving instructor, you must get in the driver’s seat yourself.
