Ethyl ethanoate (commonly called ethyl acetate), CH3?CO2?C2?H5?, is an important solvent used in nail polish remover, lacquers. adhesives, the manufacture of plastics, and even as a food favoring. It is produced from acetic acid and ethanol by the reaction CH3?CO2?H+C2?H5?OH?CH3?CO2?C2?H5?+H2?O ethanoic acid ethanol ethyl ethanoate (acetic acid) ethanol (ethyl acetate) At 25?C,Kc?=4.10 for this reaction. In a reaction mixture, the following equilibrium concentrations were observed: [CH3?CO2?H]=0.316M,[H2?O]=0.00657M, and [CH3?CO2?C2?H5?]=0.673M.? What was the concentration of C2?H5?OH in the mixture? [C2?H5?OH]= M
