The properties of ethyl acetate
Ethyl acetate, with a clear color and fragrant taste, is transparent, and is a common organic compound. Its boiling degree is about 77 degrees, and it is easy to evaporate into gas under normal temperature and pressure.

In terms of its solubility, it can be miscible with various organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers, but its solubility in water is limited. This is because of its molecular structure. It has a certain lipid solubility and is slightly less hydrophilic.

In terms of chemical properties, ethyl acetate can be hydrolyzed. Under the catalysis of acids or bases, it decomposes into acetic acid and ethanol in contact with water. In alkaline environments, the hydrolysis potential is even greater, because bases can react with hydrolyzed acids, causing the balance to shift to the right.

It is also flammable, and it is easy to burn when exposed to open flames and hot topics in the air. When burning, the flame is bright and accompanied by black smoke. Its combustion reaction is violent combination with oxygen to generate carbon dioxide and water.

Ethyl acetate is widely used in the chemical industry. It is often used as a solvent to dissolve resins, paints and other substances to help them disperse evenly and facilitate construction and application. In the fragrance industry, because of its unique fragrance, it is often added to various flavors to increase its fragrance.
