Gce Model Questions Vol1 2018 Chemistry Question 24
Practice objective / multiple choice question 24 from the 2018 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
In a 1.0 L reaction vessel, 0.10 mol of ethanol (\(\mathrm{CH_3CH_2OH}\)) and 0.10 mol of 2‑propanol (\(\mathrm{(CH_3)_2CHOH}\)) are mixed with 0.20 mol of acetic acid (\(\mathrm{CH_3COOH}\)). Both alcohols undergo esterification with the acid to give ethyl acetate and isopropyl acetate respectively. Each esterification has an equilibrium constant \(K = 4.0\) at 25 °C. Assuming the two equilibria are independent but share the same pool of acetic acid, calculate the total amount (in moles) of ester formed at equilibrium.
