Is ethyl acetate polar?

Acetic acid is polar because it is asymmetrical meaning that dipole moment does not get cancel.


What is denser ethyl acetate or water?

water is more dense than ethyl acetate , so water remains on bottom and ethyl acetate on top when both mixed.


Solubility of ethyl cellulose?

Practically insoluble in water, in glycerol, and in propane-1,2-diol, but soluble in varying proportions in certain organic solvents, depending upon the ethoxyl content. Ethyl cellulose containing less than 46-48% of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in tetrahydrofuran, in methyl acetate, in chloroform, and in aromatic hydrocarbon ethanol mixtures. Ethylcellulose containing 46- 48% or more of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in ethanol, in methanol, in toluene, in chloroform, and in ethyl acetate.

Why is the boiling point of acetic acid 118 degrees and that of ethyl acetate is 77 degrees?

My guess is that because ethyl acetate has the ethyl group(2 carbon chain) attached to the acetic acid root, the oxygen that connects the ethyl group is now more shielded and less polar than it was before. This means that the strength of its hydrogen bonding abilities with other molecules is diminished; hydrogen bonding resists and is antagonistic to evaporative action, as bonding molecules are "sticking together."


Is ethyl acetate a good solvent for using TLC plates?

Ethyl acetate is generally a good solvent for TLC.  It is more polar than hexanes, but less so than acetone, alcohols, acids, and water.  If you are doing a reaction for the first time and have no idea what solvent system to use for TLC, varying ratios of hexanes:ethyl acetate is always a good starting point (try 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2. 1:3, etc).
