If `1` mole of `CH_(3)COOH` and `1` mole of `C_(2)H_(5)OH` are taken in `1` litre flask, `50%` of `CH_(3)COOH` is converted into ester as,
`CH_(3)COOH_((l))+C_(2)H_(5)OH_((l))hArrCH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)(l)+H_(2)O_((l))`
There is `33%` conversion of `CH_(3)COOH` into ester, if `CH_(3)COOH "and" C_(2)H_(5)OH` have been taken initially in molar ratio `x:1`, find `x`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction and the conversions given. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Reaction The reaction given is: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] This is the esterification reaction between acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH). ### Step 2: Initial Moles and Concentrations Initially, we have: - 1 mole of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) - 1 mole of ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH) ### Step 3: First Condition (50% Conversion) From the problem, we know that if 1 mole of each is taken, 50% of CH₃COOH is converted into ester. This means: - Moles of CH₃COOH at equilibrium = \(1 - 0.5 = 0.5\) moles - Moles of C₂H₅OH at equilibrium = \(1 - 0.5 = 0.5\) moles - Moles of CH₃COOC₂H₅ formed = 0.5 moles - Moles of H₂O formed = 0.5 moles ### Step 4: Equilibrium Constant (Kc) Calculation The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[\text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5][\text{H}_2\text{O}]}{[\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}][\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}]} \] Substituting the equilibrium concentrations: \[ K_c = \frac{(0.5)(0.5)}{(0.5)(0.5)} = 1 \] ### Step 5: Second Condition (Molar Ratio \( x:1 \)) Now, we consider the case where the initial moles of CH₃COOH and C₂H₅OH are in the ratio \( x:1 \). Let: - Moles of CH₃COOH = \( x \) - Moles of C₂H₅OH = \( 1 \) Given that there is a 33% conversion of CH₃COOH, we have: - Moles of CH₃COOH reacted = \( \frac{1}{3}x \) - Moles of CH₃COOH remaining = \( x - \frac{1}{3}x = \frac{2}{3}x \) - Moles of C₂H₅OH reacted = \( \frac{1}{3}x \) - Moles of C₂H₅OH remaining = \( 1 - \frac{1}{3}x \) - Moles of CH₃COOC₂H₅ formed = \( \frac{1}{3}x \) - Moles of H₂O formed = \( \frac{1}{3}x \) ### Step 6: Equilibrium Constant for the Second Condition Using the same formula for \( K_c \): \[ K_c = \frac{[\text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5][\text{H}_2\text{O}]}{[\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}][\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}]} \] Substituting the equilibrium concentrations: \[ K_c = \frac{\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right)}{\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{3}x\right)} \] Since \( K_c \) remains the same (equal to 1 from the first condition), we set up the equation: \[ 1 = \frac{\left(\frac{1}{3}x\right)^2}{\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{3}x\right)} \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( x \) Cross-multiplying and simplifying: \[ \left(\frac{1}{3}x\right)^2 = \left(\frac{2}{3}x\right)\left(1 - \frac{1}{3}x\right) \] \[ \frac{1}{9}x^2 = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{2}{9}x^2 \] Combining like terms: \[ \frac{1}{9}x^2 + \frac{2}{9}x^2 - \frac{2}{3}x = 0 \] \[ \frac{3}{9}x^2 - \frac{2}{3}x = 0 \] Factoring out \( x \): \[ x\left(\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{2}{3}\right) = 0 \] This gives us: \[ x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( x \) is: \[ \boxed{2} \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction and the conversions given. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Reaction The reaction given is: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] This is the esterification reaction between acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH). ### Step 2: Initial Moles and Concentrations ...
