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 prepare 200ml of ethyl acetate of 0.1 Normality solution?

To prepare 200ml of 0.1 N ethyl acetate solution, you will need to calculate the amount of ethyl acetate needed. Since the molecular weight of ethyl acetate is around 88.11 g/mol, for 200ml of 0.1 N solution, you would need around 1.76g of ethyl acetate. Dissolve this amount of ethyl acetate in distilled water to make up the final volume to 200ml.
