Ethyl acetate, also known as EA/EtOAc, with the chemical formula C4H8O2, is a colorless liquid. As a common ester, it has a molar mass of approximately 88.11 g/mol and a density of 0.902 g/mL at 20°C, less dense than water. Its freezing point is as low as -83.6 °C (-118.5 °F), and its boiling point is 77.1 °C (170.8 °F), remaining liquid under typical room temperature conditions. It is slightly soluble in water, but highly miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. This balanced solubility makes it suitable for use in coatings, adhesives, and drug extraction. It is also highly regarded for its low toxicity and excellent solubility.
