I have noticed that sodium citrate is the active indgredient in Prestone's Super Flush for automotive cooling systems. I am wondering what concentration they must use and if there are other ingredients that, when combined, with sodium citrate, cause it to become a hazardous substance.Bobbyrae 11:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Probably a chelating agent to prevent scaling problems or something. Do note that this is not exactly the place to talk about sodium citrate. This is the place to talk about the article, sodium citrate. --Rifleman 82 12:27, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Apparent contradiction re terminology
In the introductory paragraph, this sentence occurs: "For this reason, citrates of certain Alkaline and Alkaline Earth metals (e.g. sodium and calcium citrates) are commonly known as sour salt (occasionally citric acid is erroneously termed sour salt)." Which clearly implies that citric acid is not an alternative name for sodium citrate. But in the right sidebar, "citric acid" is listed as one of the alternative names for sodium citrate.
This would make sense only if the sidebar is listing an erroneous alternative name for sodium citrate. I don't think listing an erroneous name for something is a good idea. Or at least if an erroneous name is listed, it ought to be marked as erroneous in order to avoid confusion.Daqu 11:48, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
