The smell of bananas comes from the ester 3-methylbutyl acetate. Ethyl acetate has a smell similar to that of bananas and is often used in banana fragrances as well as being naturally found in some wines.
The ester 3-methylbutyl acetate (isopentyl acetate) is an artificial banana scent/flavor. While we perceive the smell of this compound as the smell of bananas, the chemical is not responsible for the scent/flavor of real bananas. Banana candies (runts for example) use 3-methylbutyl acetate as the artificial flavoring and any true banana lover could tell you that the candies taste different than the fruit.

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.
Is ethyl acetate or diethyl ether is same?
No.. Ethyl acetate is C2H5COOCH3 and Diethyl ether is C2H5OC2H5
What is more polar either ethyl-acetate or pet-ether?
on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.
Is silica more polar than ethyl acetate?
Yes silica is more polar then ethyl acetate . Deepak
What is the structures of ethyl acetate and hexane?
Hexane is the alkane with six carbon atoms and is a linear molecule. Ethyl acetate CH3COOCH3 is an ester.
What ethyl acetate is better than methyl acetate yes or not?
yes ethyl acetate is better option....................
What type of compound is ethyl acetate?
It is an ester. Ethyl alcohol + acetic acid ---> ethyl acetate C2H5OH + CH3COOH ----> CH3COOC2H5
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.
Is ethyl acetate or diethyl ether is same?
No.. Ethyl acetate is C2H5COOCH3 and Diethyl ether is C2H5OC2H5
What observation is expected if the sample of water is soluble in the ethyl acetate?
You get an ethyl acetate in water solution
What is the solubility of ethyl acetate in water?
Solubility of ethyl acetate (ethyl ethanoate) in water is 8.3 g/100 mL at 20 °C.
What is more polar either ethyl-acetate or pet-ether?
on basis of solubility in water. ethyl acetate.
Is silica more polar than ethyl acetate?
Yes silica is more polar then ethyl acetate . Deepak
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.
What combination of alcohol and acid will form the ester ethyl acetate?
Acetic acid and ethanol alcohol will form ethyl acetate.
What is the structures of ethyl acetate and hexane?
Hexane is the alkane with six carbon atoms and is a linear molecule. Ethyl acetate CH3COOCH3 is an ester.
What is the activation energy ethyl acetate?
The activation energy of ethyl acetate, which is the minimum energy required for a chemical reaction to occur, is specific to the reaction in question. Different reactions involving ethyl acetate will have different activation energies.
