Two moles of an equimolar mixture of two alcohols, R1 - OHand R2- OH are esterified with one mole of acetic acid. If 80% of the acid is consumed and the quantities of ester formed under equilibrium are in the ratio of 3:2 respectively, the value of the equilibrium constant for the esterification of R1 - OHwith acetic acid is (A) ~3.3 (B) ~3.7 (C) 3.5 (D) - 3.9 Two moles of an equimolar mixture of two alcohols, R1 - OHand R2- OH are esterified with one mole of acetic acid.
