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."

What type of compound is ethyl acetate?
It is an ester. Ethyl alcohol + acetic acid ---> ethyl acetate C2H5OH + CH3COOH ----> CH3COOC2H5
What combination of alcohol and acid will form the ester ethyl acetate?
Acetic acid and ethanol alcohol will form ethyl acetate.
What alcohol and acid form ethyl acetate?
Ethanol and acetic acid.
What would the result be if while carrying out TLC chromatography you used a solvent of 200 is to 1 ethyl acetate and aqueous ammonia instead of 200 is to 1 ethyl acetate and acetic acid?
chromatography is when two substances separate. iprdufwjiwreusdoi
What ethyl acetate is better than methyl acetate yes or not?
yes ethyl acetate is better option....................

What is boiling point of butyl acetate?
Boiling point of ethyl butyrate: + 121 °C.
What combination of alcohol and acid will form the ester ethyl acetate?
Acetic acid and ethanol alcohol will form ethyl acetate.
What alcohol and acid form ethyl acetate?
Ethanol and acetic acid.
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
Write the chemical equations for esterification?
Acetic acid and ethanol (ethyl alcohol) converts to the ester, ethyl acetate (ethyl ethanoate) and water : CH3CO-OH + H-OCH2CH3 -> CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O

On the basis of its boiling point identify the pure liquid as either ethyl acetate or butyl acetate?
To identify a substance, you must find more than its boiling point. Also look for its freezing point and density.
Why it is more useful to make ethyl acetate with acetic acid and alcohol rather than using other compounds like ketene alcohol or acetamide alcohol?
because it does not react in acetic acid
What ester forms when ethyl alcohol and formic acid react?
The products from the reaction of n-amyl alcohol and acetic acid are ethyl pentanoate (an ester) and water. CH3COOH + CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ==> CH3COOCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 + H2O acetic acid + n-amyl alcohol ==> ethyl propanoate + water
