On Ethyl Acetate and Acetic Acid
Now there are two kinds of things, which are called ethyl acetate and acetic acid. Both are common.

Ethyl acetate has a fragrant taste, a clear and transparent color, often exists in the aroma of fruits, and is also a good product of organic dissolution. Its mild nature is often used as a medium or product in various chemical reactions.

As for acetic acid, it has an acidic and strong taste and is corrosive. However, it is very useful in food, medicine, and chemical industries. It can be used as an acid-regulating agent in food, and it can be used as a preparation in medicine. Chemical is the main raw material.

Although the two have different properties, they are often related to the principle of chemistry. Acetic acid and alcohol can be combined to form ethyl acetate, which is the opposite of esterification; and ethyl acetate in contact with water, under the catalysis of acid or base, the complex decomposition of acetic acid and alcohol is the response to hydrolysis.

The study of the nature of the two shows the rules of its change, which is beneficial to the industry and production. Make good use of it, it can improve the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, and contribute to the progress of the world.
