Question:

Ethyl acetate can be formed from ethanol and acetic acid, by the liquid phase reaction

C,H,OH +CH_COOH+H,O+CH,COOC,H, ethanol + acetic acid water + ethyl acetate

A liquid phase reactor (Figure 14-6) with a constant temperature T = 298.15 K initially contains 5 moles each of ethanol, acetic acid, water, and ethyl acetate. Find the contents of the reaction at equilibrium if

A. The reaction is carried out at constant P = 1 bar

B. The reaction is carried out at constant P = 50 bar

For the purposes of this problem, assume the mixture can be modeled as an ideal solution Initial state T = 25C P = Constant Nethanol = 5 mol Nacetic acid = 5 mol Nwater = 5 mol Nethyl acetate = 5
