Yes; with a volume measuring devise this could be done.
1. Add water into measurement beaker/graduated cylinder. Record volume. (V1)
2. Mass NaC2H3O2 in grams. (M)
3. Add NaC2H3O2 into beaker, record (V2)
4. Density = mass / volume; thus M/(V2-V1)

Density Of Sodium Acetate

density of a solid is usually determined by measuring its volume using water displacement. This means that you take a known volume of water and add your solid of interest to it. By adding this solid you would change the volume of the water. The amount of change in volume would be the volume of your solid of interest.
of course you would need to measure the mass of your solid of interest as well
density = mass/volume
however sodium acetate dissolves in water so that would not allow you to determine it density because no water would be displaced...

No, ionic salts disperse through the water molecules. The spacing doesn't preserve the volume of the salt.
