dipole-dipole attraction with Ethyl acetate molecules would overcome the H-bond attraction between Benzoic Acid molecules due to ratio of the non-polar to polar portion of the benzoic acid molecules to its polar

If it is in it's neural state than yes diethyl-ether will dissolve it.

No. Benzene is nonpolar and ether is very polar.

What alcohol and acid make up ethyl acetate?

ethanol and acetic acid.


What is the product of ethanol and bromine reaction?

the main products are : ethyl acetate, acetaldehyd, acetic acid, hydrobromic acid and ethyl bromide


To make a saturated solution of benzoic acid using benzene as the solvent how much is need of each?

I can't find a number, but I found this: Benzoic acid is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, very slightly soluble in benzene and acetone. (see link on the left under Web Links) This implies not very much benzoic acid will dissolve in benzene. This other site (the MSDS for benzoic acid) says this: SOLVENT SOLUBILITY: Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone, carbon disulfide, oil of turpentine, carbon tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils; slightly soluble in petroleum ether, hexane. This does make it sound fairly soluble! Hard to say which is right. This can easily be determined by experiment however!


What happens when ethanol is mixed with vinegar?

Probably nothing since vinegar is a dilute concentration of acetic acid...However if you had pure acetic acid & ethanol the two would react to form an ester called ethyl acetate at room temperature: CH3CH2OH (ethanol) + CH3COOH (acetic acid) <==> CH3COOCH2CH3 (ethyl acetate) + H2O However since it is an equilibrium reaction you'd have a mixture of the products & reactants & would need to separate the mixture. Under the presence of an acid catalyst (such as sulfuric acid) & continuously removing the water you can increase the yield of ethyl acetate.


What is the derivative of benzoic acid?

Salts of the benzoic acids are called benzoates.
