CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Diethyl carbonate appears as a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant odor. It is slightly less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. Flash point 77 °F. Vapors are heavier than air. When heated to high temperatures it may emit acrid smoke. Used as a solvent. |
