When ethyl alcohol and acetic acid mixed together in equimolar proportions,equilibrium is attained when two-thirds of the acid and alcohol are consumed.the equilibrium constant for the reaction will be ?

Dear student,
                               CH3COOH   +  C2H5OH     ⇌   CH3COOC2H5    +     H2O
                                 1 mole              1mole                    0                           0
at ebbm :                  1 - 2/3             1 - 2/3                    2/ 3                       2 /3
  KC  = [CH3COOC2H5] [H2O][CH3COOH] [C2H5OH]         =  2/3 ×2/31/3×1/3
             =   4 
Regards
