MCQ
$C{H_3}COO{H_{(l)}} + {C_2}{H_5}O{H_{(l)}}$ $\rightleftharpoons$ $C{H_3}COO{C_2}{H_{5\,(l)}} + {H_2}{O_{(l)}}$ In the above reaction, one mole of each of acetic acid and alcohol are heated in the presence of little conc. ${H_2}S{O_4}$. On equilibrium being attained
  • A
    $1$ mole of ethyl acetate is formed
  • B
    $2$ mole of ethyl acetate are formed
  • C
    $1/2$ moles of ethyl acetate is formed
  • $2/3$ moles of ethyl acetate is formed

Answer

Correct option: D.
$2/3$ moles of ethyl acetate is formed
(d) In presence of little ${H_2}S{O_4}$ (as catalyst) about $2/3$ mole of each of $C{H_3}COOH$ and ${C_2}{H_5}OH$ react to form $2/3$ mole of the product at equilibrium.
