Molecular Formula (Sodium Ascorbate): C4H7NaO6
Molecular Weight: 198.11 g/mol
Chemical Name: Sodium Ascorbate
CAS Number: 134-03-2
It is the sodium salt obtained by binding sodium instead of the hydrogen proton in the 3-hydroxy group of ascorbic acid. It is Vitamin C with high solubility in water. It is mixed with ascorbic acid. However, while ascorbic acid is an organic acid with a simple structure, L-ascorbate is the salt form of this acid. Due to its low acidity, drugs produced with this chemical substance are used in the pharmaceutical sector for ascorbic acid-based solutions for people with gastrointestinal problems.

Physical and Chemical Properties:
It is in the form of small crystals or white powder in physical appearance.
It is an odorless chemical substance.
It should be stored in areas that are not exposed to direct sunlight.
Its melting point is 218 °C.
Its solubility in water is approximately 62 g/100 mlt water at 25 °C.
It is slightly soluble in alcohols (Ethyl Alcohol, Methyl Alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol).
Ascorbate is in solution form in water as stability, it undergoes oxidation when exposed to air.
For this reason, drugs should not be exposed to air or light.
