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
Generally an equilibrium reaction influence by concentration as::
equilibrium reaction shifts to a position where concentration is less.
so in first picture answer is equilibrium shifts towards acid and alcohols mixture as concentration of ester is moreand that of alcohol and acid is less.
in second picture, answer is equilibrium shifts left side. It is because,
equilibrium always shift to side where pressure is less. Hence equilibrium shifts to left side
