Question

`CH_(3)CHOO_((1))+C_(2)H_(5)OH_((1))hArrCH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5(1))+H_(2)O_((1))` In the above reaction, one mole of each of acetic acid and alcohol are heated in the presence of little conc. `H_(2)SO_(4).` On equlibrium being attained
A. mole of ethyl acetate is formed
B. 2 mole of ethyl acetate are formed
C. `1//2` moles of ethyl acetate is formed
D. `2//3` moles of ethyl acetate is formed

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
In presence of little `H_(2)SO_(4)` (as catalyst) about 2/3 mole of each of `CH_(3)COOH and C_(2)H_(5)OH` react to from 2/3 mole of the product at equilibrium.
