Question
For questions 6-12, refer to the reaction performed in the Homogeneous Equilibrium Experiment Acetic acid + Ethanol aaGEthylacetate + water A student mixes the following volumes together in a reaction flask HCI Acetic acid Ethanol Ethylacetate Water 0.00 mL 1.00 mL 1.00 ml 400 ml 0.00 mL Which of the following is true concerning the equilibrium reaction under study? O The reaction will shift to the right O The reaction is at equilibrium O The reaction will shift to the left. O The reaction will not occur O None of the aboveExplanation / Answer
The reaction will not occur because the concentration of water is zero. And water is need for hydrolysis of ester to form carboxylic acid and alcohol. And as HCl is absent acidic esterification is not possible.
