Concept explainers
Interpretation:
This reason for the removal of water releasing more ethyl acetate needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Le Chatelier principle states that a system at equilibrium when subjected to changes in the system adjusts it self to attain the equilibrium state again.
Answer to Problem 75A
The removal of water produced in the above reaction will shift the equilibrium to the right resulting in forward reaction and the production of more ethyl acetate.
Explanation of Solution
According to Le Chatelier principle, if one or more of the products formed in the reversible reaction are removed from the system, it will shift the equilibrium of the system towards the right. Since water is one of the products formed, its removal will cause the reaction to move forward and create more of the product (both water and acetate).
The removal of water from the system will cause shift in equilibrium and formation of more products.
