The kinetic of the formation of CH3COOC2H5 from the acid and alcohol as homogeneously catalyzed by a constant amount of HCL has been studied by titrating 1cm3 aliquot of the reaction mixture with 0.0612M base(OH) at various time. The following data has been obtained at 298K [CH3COOH]=1M, [C2H5OH]=12.756M, [H2O]=12.756M, [CH3COOC2H5]=0M Time/minutes:0 44 62 108 117 148 313 384 442 infinity base(cm3): 24.37 22.20 21.35 19.50 19.25 18.29 14.14 13.40 13.09 12.68 Determine the equilibrium constant at 298K.
