Sodium diacetate is a compound with formula NaH(C2H3O2)2. It is a salt of acetic acid. It is a colorless solid that is used in seasonings and as an antimicrobial agent.Sodium acetate is produced by reaction of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide. When acetic acid and sodium acetate are mixed in equimolar proportions and allowed to crystallize, the sodium acetate crystallizes with acetic acid of crystallization. This material is called sodium diacetate (E262). It provides a solid source of acetic acid for use in dry products.

Applications:

Sodium bromide NaBr is an inorganic compound with the formula NaBr. It is a high-melting white, crystalline solid that resembles sodium chloride. It is a widely used source of the bromide ion and has many applications.

Applications
Sodium bromide is the most useful inorganic bromide in industry. It is also used as a catalyst in TEMPO-mediated oxidation reactions.

Medicine

Sodium acetate, CH3COONa, also abbreviated NaOAc is the sodium salt of acetic acid. This colorless deliquescent salt has a wide range of uses.For laboratory use, sodium acetate is inexpensive and usually purchased instead of being synthesized. It is sometimes produced in a laboratory experiment by the reaction of acetic acid, commonly in the 5–8% solution known as vinegar, with sodium carbonate ("washing soda"), sodium bicarbonate ("baking soda"), or sodium hydroxide ("lye", or "caustic soda"). Any of these reactions produce sodium acetate and water.
