Neco 2018 Chemistry Question 43
Practice objective / multiple choice question 43 from the 2018 Neco Chemistry examination.
The esterification of acetic acid with ethanol follows \(\mathrm{CH_3COOH} + \mathrm{C_2H_5OH} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH_3COOC_2H_5} + \mathrm{H_2O}\) with an equilibrium constant \(K_c = 4.0\) at 25 °C. Initially 0.10 mol of each reactant are placed in a 1.0 L flask and allowed to reach equilibrium. (a) Calculate the mass of ethyl acetate formed at equilibrium. (b) If water is continuously removed during the reaction so that the equilibrium is driven to completion, what is the maximum possible mass of ethyl acetate that can be obtained from the same initial amounts?
