Monosodium citrate, more correctly, sodium dihydrogen citrate (Latin: natrium citricum acidulatum), is an acid salt of citric acid. Disodium citrate and trisodium citrate are also known. It can be prepared by partial neutralisation of citric acid[2] with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate or carbonate. It has a slightly acidic taste.[2]
- NaHCO3 + C6H8O7 → NaC6H7O7 + CO2 + H2O
- Na2CO3 + 2C6H8O7 → 2NaC6H7O7 + CO2 + H2O
It is highly soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol.[2] Monosodium citrate is used as an anticoagulant in donated blood.[3] It is used as an alkalinizing agent to prevent kidney stone disease.[4] The crystals form as nearly perfect cubes.[5]
