Neco Model Questions Vol1 2017 Chemistry Question 32
Practice objective / multiple choice question 32 from the 2017 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
A laboratory synthesis aims to produce ethyl benzoate from benzoic acid and ethanol in the presence of concentrated \(H_2SO_4\). Initially, 0.050 mol of benzoic acid and 0.080 mol of ethanol are placed in a 1.0 L reaction flask and allowed to reach equilibrium at 25 °C. The equilibrium constant for the esterification reaction is \(K = 4.0\) (based on concentrations). Assuming the volume remains 1.0 L, determine (a) the number of moles of ethyl benzoate formed at equilibrium, and (b) the percentage conversion of the original benzoic acid.
