What is the equation of the reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid?
The reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid produces ethyl acetate and water in the presence of a catalyst like concentrated sulfuric acid. The equation for this reaction is: Ethanol + Ethanoic acid → Ethyl acetate + Water
Formation of ester from acetic acid?
The formation of an ester from acetic acid involves a reaction with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction is called Fischer esterification and leads to the formation of an ester and water. The general reaction equation is: Acetic acid + Alcohol → Ester + Water
What type of compound is ethyl acetate?
It is an organic ESTER. Ethyl acetate is the archaic name for 'Ethyl Ethanoate'. The formula for ethyl ethanoate is CH3-C(=O)-O-CH2-CH3 usually shortened to CH3COOCH2CH3 It can be synthesised by refluxing Ethanol(Ethyl alcohol) and Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid/Vinegar).
How do you draw the chemical formula for ethyl acetate?
The chemical formula for ethyl acetate is CH3COOCH2CH3. To draw the structure, start with a central carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. To one side of the central carbon, attach a carbon atom with two hydrogen atoms called an ethyl group (CH2CH3). Then, bond the oxygen atom to the central carbon with a double bond and attach a hydrogen atom to the oxygen. Lastly, attach the oxygen to the ethyl group carbon atom.
