The reaction of ethyl acetate
At some point, there was a company who wanted to study the mystery of the reaction of ethyl acetate. It is a collection of all the best people and a secret room.
Sage A said: "If you want to understand the reaction of ethyl acetate, you should study its raw materials. Acetic acid and ethanol meet, and under the catalysis of sulfuric acid, this ester can be formed."
Sage B Ying said: "Of course, this reaction is reversible, and if you want to get more ethyl acetate, you need to adjust the reaction conditions. The temperature should not be too high or too low. If it is too high, the reactant will be volatile, and if it is too low, the reaction will be slow."
Sage C said thoughtfully: "And when reacting, pay attention to the ratio of materials. The amount of acetic acid and ethanol should be carefully considered, or the balance can be shifted to the right to increase the yield of ethyl acetate. "
Everyone praised it as good, so they followed suit. In the workshop, set up a kettle, add acetic acid, ethanol and an appropriate amount of sulfuric acid. Temperature control is strict, and its changes are observed.
As time goes by, a strange fragrance gradually grows in the kettle, which is the smell of ethyl acetate. Sampling and testing, the fruit is required. Everyone is happy, this work is in the research of ethyl acetate reaction, and it has been achieved at the beginning, which can be the basis for future progress.
