Nowadays, compared with ethyl acetate, ethanol has its own characteristics. Ethanol is mild in nature and soluble in various substances. It is often used as a solvent, and it is also involved in various industrial technologies. Its taste is clear, or it is used for drinking, or it is a disinfectant, which is commonly used in the world.

And ethyl acetate has a fragrant taste and its volatilization speed. It is a commonly used solvent in the field of organic synthesis, and it also plays an important role in the fragrance preparation industry.

Compared with the two, the polarity of ethanol is stronger than that of ethyl acetate, and it has its own advantages in solubility. Ethanol is good at dissolving polar substances, while ethyl acetate has more advantages in the dissolution of non-polar or weakly polar substances.

As for the boiling point, ethanol has a relatively high boiling point, while ethyl acetate has a lower boiling point. This difference can be used to distinguish and separate when operating in processes such as distillation and separation.

The uses of the two, although both are solvents, are different in nature, and each can be applied under the needs of different industries. In chemical preparation, or ethanol is selected as the reaction medium, because its polarity is conducive to a specific reaction; in fragrance preparation, the fragrance and volatilization characteristics of ethyl acetate make it a good choice.

In general, ethanol and ethyl acetate have their own strengths. They have shown their strengths in various industries and have contributed a lot to the prosperity of industrial technology.
