2. Methanol (CH;OH) and propanoic acid (CH;CH;COOH) react in a reversible esterification reaction to produce the ester methyl prop (CH;CH2COOCH3) and water. The equation for this reaction is: CH;OH(1) + CH;CH;COOH(1) = CH;CH;COOCH;(1) + H;O(1) A student conducted a laboratory experiment to investigate the equ constant, K, for this reaction. They added 0.150 mol of propanoic aci 0.090 mol of methanol in a sealed reaction vessel. Analysis of the equilibrium mixture by titration showed that 0.030 m methyl propanoate were present in the 1.50dm³ of the reaction mixt a. Deduce the Kc expression for this reaction. b. Calculate the value and units of Kc for this reaction. Give your answer appropriate number of significant figures.

2. Methanol (CH;OH) and propanoic acid (CH;CH2COOH) react in a
reversible esterification reaction to produce the ester methyl propanoate
(CH;CH2COOCH3) and water. The equation for this reaction is:
CH;OH(1) + CH;CH;COOH(1) = CH;CH;COOCH;(1) + H,O(1)
A student conducted a laboratory experiment to investigate the equilibrium
constant, K, for this reaction. They added 0.150 mol of propanoic acid to
0.090 mol of methanol in a sealed reaction vessel.
Analysis of the equilibrium mixture by titration showed that 0.030 moles of
methyl propanoate were present in the 1.50dm3 of the reaction mixture.
a. Deduce the Kc expression for this reaction.
b. Calculate the value and units of Kc for this reaction. Give your answer to an
appropriate number of significant figures.
