On dichloromethane and ethyl acetate
Fuzimin The essence of dichloromethane and ethyl acetate should be known first. Dichloromethane is a transparent and volatile liquid with a slightly sweet taste. It has strong solubility in many organic solvents. In the molecular structure, carbon occupies the center, and chlorine and hydrogen surround it. Due to the strong electronegativity of chlorine, the molecule is polar, so it has its own ability to dissolve polar and non-polar substances.

Ethyl acetate, also a transparent liquid, fragrant and clear, is often used for fragrances and solvents. Its structure is connected by acetyl and ethoxy groups, which is a typical structure of esters. This structure gives it unique chemical properties and is widely used in organic synthesis and other fields.

Dichloromethane has a low boiling point of about 40 degrees, so it is volatile. In industrial production, it is often extracted because it can efficiently dissolve the target substance and is easy to separate. However, it has certain toxicity, and when used, protection should not be ignored. If the human body inhales too much, the central nervous system is invaded, and the light is dizziness, headache, coma, and even life-threatening.

The boiling point of ethyl acetate is 70 degrees, which is slightly higher than that of dichloromethane. Its chemical properties are active and can hydrolyze. In acidic or alkaline environments, the hydrolysis rate is different. In organic synthesis, it is often a reaction medium and an important raw material for the preparation of fragrances and drugs. Due to its relatively low toxicity and pleasant odor, it is also used in the field of food additives, but it cannot be abused and needs to be regulated.

Both are commonly used agents in industry and scientific research. If used properly, it will help; if you ignore its nature and use it rashly, it will cause harm. Therefore, those who operate must be familiar with its nature and follow the rules in order to ensure safety and use it.
