Benzyl acetate
The ester formed from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid is benzyl acetate.
Benzyl acetate is neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. It is an ester, specifically the ester of benzyl alcohol and acetic acid.
Benzyl alcohol can react with hydrochloric acid to form benzyl chloride and water in an acid-catalyzed reaction. This reaction is commonly used in organic chemistry for the synthesis of benzyl chloride.
No, benzyl salicylate is not a base. It is an ester formed by the condensation of salicylic acid with benzyl alcohol.
The pKa value of benzyl alcohol is around 15.4. This means that benzyl alcohol is a weak acid and tends to lose a proton in solution.

Acetic alcohol is a mixture, not a pure substance. You make it by mixing 3ml acetic acid with 100ml of "absolute alcohol," which is ethanol containing less than 1 percent water by weight. So...you could draw an acetic acid lewis diagram and an ethanol lewis diagram side by side.

To convert benzyl alcohol to 2-phenylethanoic acid, you would first need to oxidize the alcohol group to a carboxylic acid group. This can be achieved by using a strong oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or chromic acid (H2CrO4). The benzyl alcohol would be converted to benzaldehyde, and further oxidation would yield 2-phenylethanoic acid. The reaction would typically be carried out under acidic conditions to facilitate the oxidation process.
Acetic acid is a stronger acid. Ethanol is an alcohol which is slightly acidic but usually neutral in nature.
Acetic acid does not contain alcohol. It is a completely different chemical compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, while alcohols are organic compounds that contain a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group.
No, acetic acid and acetic acid ester are not the same thing. Acetic acid is a simple organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH, while acetic acid ester is a compound formed by the reaction of acetic acid with an alcohol. Esterification of acetic acid forms esters, which are often used as fragrances or flavorings.
To turn alcohol into vinegar, you will need alcohol (such as wine, beer, or cider), vinegar mother (a culture of acetic acid bacteria), and oxygen. The acetic acid bacteria will convert the alcohol into acetic acid in the presence of oxygen, resulting in vinegar.
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
