Can be called a metallic salt, Lithium Acetate is formed on reacting Lithium metal with Acetic Acid. Having a chemical formula CH₃COO-LI+, Lithium Acetate is an ionic compound used as buffer in laboratories. Lithium Acetateretains water molecules to form Lithium Acetate dihydrate (CH₃COOLi.2H₂O).

Lithium Acetate is a white colored crystal solid having the molar mass as 65.98 gm/mol and density as 1.26 gm/cm³. The melting point of the salt is around 286°C while the melting point of its dihydrate form is comparatively less at around 56°C. Lithium Acetate manufacturer avails the market with different grades and purity of Lithium Acetate.

Since Li is a very reactive, it is rarely found in pure forms. Hence, Lithium Acetate can be synthesized by reacting Lithium Hydroxide with Acetic Acid. Basically it is a neutralization reaction between strong base and weak base.

Lithium Acetate is a toxic compound which might affect central nervous system, kidney or thyroid. The prolonged exposure to Lithium Acetate may cause damage to some organs. The reactivity and other properties of the compound can be found in Lithium Acetate MSDS.

• Lithium Acetate is used in DNA transformation for making the cell wall of yeast permeable.
• It is used as buffer solution for the process called gel electrophoresis, where DNA, RNA and other proteins are separated according to molecular size.
