Aclassic experiment in equilibrium studies dating from 1862 involved the reaction in solution of ethanol (c2h5oh) and acetic acid (ch3cooh) to produce ethyl acetate and water. c2h5oh+ch3cooh⇌ ch3cooc2h5+h2o the reaction can be followed by analyzing the equilibrium mixture for its acetic acid content. 2ch3cooh(aq)+ba(oh)2(aq)⇌ ba(ch3coo)2(aq)+2h2o(l) in one experiment, a mixture of 1.000 mol acetic acid and 0.5000 mol ethanol is brought to equilibrium. a sample containing exactly one-hundredth of the equilibrium mixture requires 28.85 ml 0.1000 m ba(oh)2 for its titration.
calculate the equilibrium constant, kc, for the ethanol-acetic acid reaction based on this experiment.
