Description
Acetic acid methyl ester (methyl acetate) is a ROTICHROM® GC grade ester for gas chromatography and analytical laboratory applications. With CAS number 79-20-9 and empirical formula C₃H₆O₂, it has a molar mass of 74,08 g/mol and a density of 0,93 g/cm³. Thermal characteristics include a boiling point of 57 °C and a flash point of −13 °C, underscoring its high volatility and the need for careful handling. The product is supplied in a 5 ml glass pack suitable for reference use, calibration, and method development. Chemical identity and listed properties follow the manufacturer information from Carl ROTH, including EG number 201-185-2. Methyl acetate serves as a low-molecular-weight ester standard in GC work, solvent studies, and organic analytical protocols where a defined acetate ester is required. The compact glass presentation supports economical, well-documented use in quality-controlled laboratory environments and routine analytical setups.
This article belongs on Acids, in Acids & bases.

Questions about Acetic acid methyl ester, ROTICHROM® GC , 5 ml, glass
What is this article?
Acetic acid methyl ester, ROTICHROM® GC , 5 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
