Name: Sodium L-ascorbate — the sodium salt of Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).
IUPAC / systematic name: sodium (R)-2-((S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-olate
Molecular formula: C₆H₇NaO₆
Molecular weight: ~ 198.11 g/mol
CAS number: 134-03-2
EC / EINECS number: 205-126-1
Form / Appearance: usually a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water. According to ChemicalBook: ~ 620 g/L at 20 °C.
pH in solution: A 10% aqueous solution typically has pH ~ 7.4–7.7; more generally pH tends to be around neutral to slightly alkaline in solution.

Melting / Decomposition point: decomposes around 220 °C (some sources list 219–221 °C).
Boiling point / thermal behavior: reported “boiling point” around 235 °C (though in practice decomposition often precedes true boiling) according to some supplier data.
Density / Relative density: reported around 1.66 g/cm³ (bulk/powder) in some sources.
Optical activity / Chirality: Sodium L-ascorbate retains chirality; for example, specific rotation is reported around +103° to +106° (for L-form).
Stability / Reactivity: Sodium L-ascorbate is water-soluble, stable under typical storage conditions (dry, cool, sealed), but aqueous solutions — especially at pH > ~6 — are subject to oxidation by atmospheric oxygen or oxidizing agents.
Reactivity: As the sodium salt of ascorbic acid, it acts as a reducing agent / antioxidant under appropriate conditions.
