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 with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate or carbonate in a 1:1 molar ratio.
- NaHCO3 + C6H8O7 → NaC6H7O7 + CO2 + H2O
It is highly soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol. Monosodium citrate is used as an anticoagulant in donated blood.[1] It is used as an alkalinizing agent to prevent kidney stone disease.[2]
