Yes, but which form?
The anhydrous form: NaOCOCH3 is 82.03 g/mole.
The hydrated salt: NaOCOCH3*3H2O is 136.09 g/mole.

Sodium Aetate is : CH3COONa, it is a sodium salt of Acetic acid (Molecular weight 60 g) , the formula mass of sodium acetate is 82 g, (replacing the H of acid by Na 23)

Formula Mass is the same as Molecular Weight.
CH3COONa
It also has a tri-hydrate form
It's 82 amu for anhydrous, and 136 for the tri-hydrate.

Sodium acetate = Na(CH3COO):
Na: 23
C: 12.01
O: 15.99
H: 0.0079
Therefore:
Sodium acetate = 23 + 2(12.01) + 3(0.0079) + 2(15.99) = 79.0237
