Q-F7D10 (Set 3) – Part e(i)

A student attempted to confirm the value for K obtained in (d)(viii). 0.6 moles each of ethanol and ethanoic acid reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst. The volume remained constant. After 10 minutes, 0.2 moles of ethanoic acid remained in the reaction mixture. \( K=\frac{[C_{4}H_{8}O_{2}][H_{2}O]}{[C_{2}H_{6}O][C_{2}H_{4}O_{2}]} \) Determine the student’s experimental value of K under these conditions.
