What is denser ethyl acetate or water?

water is more dense than ethyl acetate , so water remains on bottom and ethyl acetate on top when both mixed.


What is more polar either ethyl-acetate or pet-ether?

on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.


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.


Is ethyl acetate a good solvent for using TLC plates?

Ethyl acetate is generally a good solvent for TLC.  It is more polar than hexanes, but less so than acetone, alcohols, acids, and water.  If you are doing a reaction for the first time and have no idea what solvent system to use for TLC, varying ratios of hexanes:ethyl acetate is always a good starting point (try 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2. 1:3, etc).


Would ethanol be a good solvent for extracting caffeine from water?

No, water and ethanol are miscible in one another. This means they would not separate into two distinct layers when mixed. You would need a less polar solvent such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate to achieve two layers and properly extract caffeine from water.

Is ethyl alcohol mixtures?

Ethanol is a compound. However, it's a little tricky to get it completely pure, since it forms an azeotrope with water at 95% ethanol/5% water.

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

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


What are the Solvents in which triazoles are soluble?

Actually this depends on the substitution. But various polar solvents that can be used are Water, Alcohols like Ethanol, 1-Propanol, 2-Propanol, or 1,2-Propanediol, Esters like Ethyl Formate, Methyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate or Butyl Acetate or even nitriles, depending upon the substitution.
