What is meant by 99 percent assay of ethyl acetate?

That is the concentration of the compound within a solvent. It's basically the purity of your sample of the compound (in this case ethyl acetate). So it could be equal to or greater than 99% ethyl acetate and the rest would be ethanol or some chemical that the ethyl acetate is dissolved in.


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.
