Ethanoic acid reacts with ethanol in the presence of sulphuric acid according to the equilibrium \[\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5 + \text{H}_2\text{O}\] At \(25^{\circ}\)C the equilibrium constant \(K_c\) is \(4.0\). If initially \(0.20\) mol of ethanoic acid and \(0.30\) mol of ethanol are placed in a \(1.0\) L flask, calculate the equilibrium concentration of ethyl acetate. Give your answer in mol L\(^{-1}\) to three significant figures.
