2-butoxyethanol acetate is also known as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, butoxyethyl acetate, butyl glycol acetate, ethylene glycol butyl ether acetate, acetic acid 2-butoxyethyl ester, glycol monobutyl ether acetate, butyl Cellosolve acetate, or Ektasolve EB acetate. Common abbreviations for 2-butoxyethanol acetate include BEA and EGBEA. 2-Butoxyethanol acetate can be found in air, water and soil as contaminant. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity odour. Most people can begin to smell 2-butoxyethanol acetate in air at 0.10–0.48 ppm. It is only moderately soluble in water but is soluble in most organic solvents. This means that when 2-butoxyethanol acetate and water or 2-butoxyethanol and organic solvents are mixed, the mixtures form one layer, unlike mixing oil and water which separate into two layers. 2-Butoxyethanol acetate is a fire hazard when exposed to heat, sparks, flames, or oxidizers. 2-Butoxyethanol acetate in the environment also comes from some industrial activities. It is prepared by reacting 2-butoxyethanol with acetic acid, acetic acid anhydride, or acetic acid chloride. 2-Butoxyethanol acetate is widely used as a slow-evaporating solvent for lacquers, varnishes, epoxy resins, and enamels. It is also used in polyvinyl acetate latex, and it may be used in some ink and spot remover formulations.

What alcohol and acid make up ethyl acetate?
ethanol and acetic acid.
When calcium acetate react with ethanol calciumacetate absorb ethanol how?
I think what happens is a simple precipitation. Calcium acetate isn't soluble in ethanol, and hence crashes out of solution when ethanol is added to a saturated solution of calcium acetate.The precipitation is quick, leading to small strands of solid Ca(OAc)2, forming a solid gel. A gel consists of a continuous open network and a solvent. The network can be either solid or soluble in the solvent.
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.
What is the product of ethanol and bromine reaction?
the main products are : ethyl acetate, acetaldehyd, acetic acid, hydrobromic acid and ethyl bromide
Is ethyl acetate polar?
Acetic acid is polar because it is asymmetrical meaning that dipole moment does not get cancel.
What does ethanol and calcium acetate make?
Solid fuel
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 are the active medicinal properties of the Thunder God vine?
Ethanol and acetate.
Is zinc acetate soluble in ethanol?
Zinc acetate is not easily solved in ethanol, so it is necessary to add one of this stabilizer such as DI water, MEA , DEA , TEA to obtain a completely clear and transparent solution .
What alcohol and acid make up ethyl acetate?
ethanol and acetic acid.
How hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate is done?
Hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate is realized with sodium hydroxide in a solution of ethanol. See the link below for details.
Is 1 ml calcium acetate and 2 ml ethanol a chemical change?
yes
In ethanol precipitation natrium acetate is added in 0.1 volume if wrongly added the volume to 1volume what will happened?
how about the countermeasurement for that?

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.
