acetic acid, CH3COOH, with ethanol, C2H5OH, in an organic solvent, the ester known as ethyl acetate, CH3C0OC2H5, and water are formed from the reaction : CH3COOH + C2H5OH CH3COOC2H5 + H2O, Kc 4.00 at 100C. If the initial concentration of CH3COOH and C2H5OH are 0.01042 M, and 0.0630 M, respectively, and no products are present initially, what will be the equilibrium concentration of the ester?

4. An ester is formed in the reaction of an organic acid with alcohol. For example, the reaction of
acetic acid, CH3COOH, with ethanol, C2H5OH, in an organic solvent, the ester known as ethyl
acetate, CH3COOC2H5, and water are formed from the reaction : CH3COOH + C2H5OH
CH3COOC2H5 + H2O, Kc 4.00 at 100C. If the initial concentration of CH3COOH
and C2H5OH are 0.01042 M, and 0.0630 M, respectively, and no products are present initially,
what will be the equilibrium concentration of the ester?
