The reaction between benzoic acid (Benzoic Acid) and ethyl acetate (Ethyl Acetate) is also an interesting trend in ancient chemical research.

Benzoic acid is an organic compound with a carboxyl group. Ethyl acetate is an ester and has a unique structure. When the two meet, according to the ancient chemical theory, it may lead to different changes.

When it reacts, it may be controlled by various factors. If the temperature is high or low, the molecular activity will increase, and the reaction may be more likely to start; if the temperature is low, the molecule will slow down, change or delay. And if there is a catalyst involved, it can also change the reaction process. Catalysts can reduce the energy barrier of the reaction and promote the acceleration of the two.

In the ancient alchemy, to observe the reaction of the two, you need to be proficient in the use of utensils and examine the sequence of steps. Mix the two in a device in a suitable ratio, control the temperature and adjust the environment, and observe the change in detail. Or see the change of color, or the ease of perceiving the smell, are all signs of reaction.

After years and years, explore its products, or obtain new compounds. This new substance may have characteristics different from the two, be used in various ways, or have novel effects. Ancient researchers, with diligence and sensitivity, study this reaction, and lay the foundation for the progress of later chemistry.
