Q. If different quantities of ethyl alcohol and acetic acid are used in the reversible reaction

C H_{3} C O O H + C_{2} H_{5} O H \Leftrightarrow C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5} + H_{2} O

then the equilibrium constant will have the values:

Ethyl acetate is formed by the reaction between ethanol and acetic acid and the equilibrium is represented as:

(i) Write the concentration ratio (reaction quotient), Qc, for this reaction (note: water is not in excess and is not a solvent in this reaction)

(ii) At 293 K, if one starts with 1.00 mol of acetic acid and 0.18 mol of ethanol, there is 0.171 mol of ethyl acetate in the final equilibrium mixture. Calculate the equilibrium constant.
