To calculate the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the reaction between ethanol (\( C_2H_5OH \)) and acetic acid (\( CH_3COOH \)) to form ethyl acetate (\( CH_3COOC_2H_5 \)) and water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The reaction can be represented as: \[ CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O \] Since one mole of water is both a reactant and a product, it will not affect the equilibrium expression. ...
