Question

Ethyl Acetate+ water--> Ethyl alcohol+acetic acid

Supposed you stoppered the flasks after your titration to determine the equilibrium constant and kept the solutions for another day so that the equilibrium was re-established. What would happen to the amount of ethanol present? What would be the relationship of the original equilibrium constant you calculated to the new one? I had 3 trials and the value of K is less than 1, so which means it's reactant favored....hope this helps you to answer my question.

Explanation / Answer

since equilibrium is established, there will not be any change in the amount of ethanol present.the equilibrium constant is independent of time once it is established.
