reactionrate

Post by Manon »

So I have a problem with a homework
This reaction is happening:
CH3COOH + C2H5OH → CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
and I have the equation for the reactionrate

–dc(AcOH)/dt = k·c(AcOH)·c(EtOH) - k’·c(AcOEt)·c(H2O)

k’ = 1,63·10-4 L mol-1 min-1
k = 4,76·10-4 L mol-1 min-1

at the beginning we have 4,17 mol L-1 of AcOH, 10,9 mol L-1 of EtOH and 16,1 mol L-1 of water. And the reaction will be abrupted by an conversion of 37.5%
