| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Potassium Acetate Physical Appearance | Faint Acetic Smell White color Crystalline powder |
| Potassium Acetate reaction with Acetic Acid | CH3COOH(aq) ←→ CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq) No reaction, buffer solution is formed |
| Potassium Acetate reaction with Sulfuric Acid and Ethyl Alcohol | CH3COOK + H2SO4 →CH3COOH + KHSO4 (first reaction) forms acetic acid CH3COOH + C2H5OH → CH3COOC2H5 + H2O (second reaction) acetic acid reacts with ethyl alcohol yielding ethyl acetate Ethyl acetate - fruity odor |
