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^[3] with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate or carbonate. It has a slightly acidic taste.^[3]

NaHCO₃ + C₆H₈O₇ → NaC₆H₇O₇ + CO₂ + H₂O

Na₂CO₃ + 2C₆H₈O₇ → 2NaC₆H₇O₇ + CO₂ + H₂O

It is highly soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol.^[3] Monosodium citrate is used as an anticoagulant in donated blood.^[4] It is used as an alkalinizing agent to prevent kidney stone disease.^[5] The crystals form as nearly perfect cubes.^[6]
