Why does ethyl ethanoate smell more when combined with water?

Ethyl ethanoate is more volatile than water, meaning it evaporates more easily. When combined with water, the ethyl ethanoate molecules escape from the solution and reach our nose faster, leading to a stronger smell perception compared to when ethyl ethanoate is in its pure liquid form.

What does n-propyl salicylate smell like?

What does ethyl butanoate smell like?

Ethyl butanoate has an odor quite similar to that of pineapple.Note to anyone who thinks it would be fun to whip up some for a science fair project: Butanoic acid, one of the compounds you'll need to make it, does not smell a DARN THING like pineapple. Instead, the best words for describing ITS odor would include phrases like "rancid butter" and "warm vomit", and it's pervasive ... it can be readily detected by humans at concentrations of ten parts per million. Esterification is a reversible reaction (and ten ppm is pretty low), so unless you think the judges will be impressed by your "bathroom after a tiki-themed frat party" scent-in-a-vial, you might want to skip this one and instead go for something like methyl salicylate (which smells like wintergreen, but has much less offensive precursors).


Is it true that many esters have a pleasant fruity smell?

Yes, many esters have a pleasant, fruity smell. Indeed, many of the smells we associate with fruit are caused by their ester content. Ethyl ethanoate smells of ripe pears and isoamyl acetate is reminiscent of bananas. However, not all are fruity. Methyl salicylate smells of antiseptic.

What are the chemical tests to distinguish between ethyl ethanoate and butanoic acid?

One way to distinguish between ethyl ethanoate (ethyl acetate) and butanoic acid is by using litmus paper. Ethyl ethanoate is neutral, so it will not affect the color of the litmus paper. Butanoic acid is acidic and will turn blue litmus paper red. Another test is to conduct a smell test - ethyl ethanoate has a fruity smell, while butanoic acid has a strong, rancid smell.

What esters have commercial applications?

Methyl salicylate is the oil of wintergreen, and it gives off that trademark minty scent. Ethyl Acetate is used in glues and nail polish removers. Ethyl Formate is in rum. Here's a list on Wikipedia, found at the bottom of the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester
