Gce Model Questions Vol1 2017 Chemistry Question 27
Practice objective / multiple choice question 27 from the 2017 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
Ethyl acetate is prepared by the esterification of ethanol with acetic acid: \(\mathrm{CH_3CH_2OH + CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COOCH_2CH_3 + H_2O}\). At 25 °C the equilibrium constant \(K_c\) for this reaction is 4.0. Initially, 0.10 mol of ethanol and 0.10 mol of acetic acid are placed in a 1.00 L flask, and no ester is present. Assuming the reaction reaches equilibrium, calculate the equilibrium concentration of ethyl acetate (in mol L⁻¹).
