NEETChemistryIonic Equilibrium
Ethyl acetate is formed by the reaction between ethanol and acetic acid and the equilibrium is represented as: ( CH ₃ COOH (l)+ C ₂ H ₅ OH (l) CH ₃ COOC ₂ H ₅(l)+ H ₂ O (l) ) (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)
Options
- A( [ CH ₃ COOC ₂ H ₅ ] [ H ₂ O ] [ CH ₃ COOH ] [ C ₂ H ₅ OH ] )
- B( [ CH ₃ COOH ] [ C ₂ H ₅ OH ] [ CH ₃ COOC ₂ H ₅ ] [ H ₂ O ] )
- C( [ CH ₃ COOCO ₂ H ₅ ] [ C ₂ H ₅ OH ] [ CH H ₃ COOH ] [ H ₂ O ] )
- D( [ CH ₃ COOC ₂ H ₅ ] [ H ₂ O ] [ CH ₃ COOH ] [ C ₂ H ₅ OH ] )
