7.18     Ethyl acetate is formed by the reaction between ethanol and acetic acid and the equilibrium is represented as:

                CH_{3}COOH _{(l)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}_{(l)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}

(i) Write the concentration ratio (reaction quotient), Qc, for this reaction (note: water is not in excess and is not a solvent in this reaction)

The given reaction is-
                           CH_{3}COOH _{(l)}+C_{2}H_{5}OH\rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5}_{(l)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}
the concentration ratio (reaction quotient) of the given chemical reaction is-

Q_c = \frac{[CH_{3}COOC_2H_5][H_2O]}{[CH_3COOH][C_2H_5OH]}
