Answer:

0.54 mole

Explanation:

                                     CH3COOH    CH3CH2OH   CH3COOCH2CH3    H2O​

Initial concentration   1.0 mole         1.0 mole                0 mole                  1.0mol

Change                          - x                   - x                      + x                          + x  

Equilibrium                   (1.0 - x)          (1.0 - x)                   x                       (1.0 + x)

K = [CH3COOCH2CH3]*[H2O​]/[CH3COOH]*[CH3CH2OH]

x*(1.0+x)/(1.0-x)(1.0-x) = 4.0

x+x²=4*(1-x)²

x+x² = 4(1² - 2x + x²)

x + x² = 4 - 8x + 4x²

4 - 8x + 4x²- x² - x= 0

3x² - 9x + 4 = 0

x=2.5 , x=0.54

2.5 mole of acid cannot be esterified, because there is only 1.0 mole of acid,

so answer is 0.54 mole.

Explain the difference between fixed and variable oxidation
dem82 [27]

Fixed vs Variable Oxidation is given below.

Explanation:

1.In its compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, except. hydrides where the. oxidation number of hydrogen is -1. In their compounds, the metals with fixed oxidation states have the oxidation number that. corresponds with the fixed oxidation number.

A variable oxidation state is a value that determines the charge of the atom depending on certain conditions.

2. Ox­i­da­tion state of el­e­ments is con­sid­ered to be of the most im­por­tant in the study of chem­istry. For some el­e­ments, this fig­ure is con­stant known as fixed oxidation , while for oth­ers it is vari­able is called variable oxidation state.

3. MgCl2 :  magnesium is in Group IIA and all elements in Group IIA have fixed oxidation numbers of +2

FeCl2 :  iron has a variable oxidation number of either +2 or +3 and is not fixed
