a. If the equilibrium constant for the reaction of acetic acid and ethanol to form ethyl acetate

Question:

a. If the equilibrium constant for the reaction of acetic acid and ethanol to form ethyl acetate is 4.02, what will be the concentration of ethyl acetate at equilibrium if the reaction is carried out with equal amounts of acetic acid and ethanol?
b. What will be the concentration of ethyl acetate at equilibrium if the reaction is carried out with 10 times more ethanol than acetic acid? Recall the quadratic equation: For ax2 + bx + c = 0,
x = -b ± (b2 - 4ac)1/2 / 2a
c. What will be the concentration of ethyl acetate at equilibrium if the reaction is carried out with 100 times more ethanol than acetic acid?
