Question

Acetic acid and ethanol react to form ethyl acetate and water, like this: (aq)(aq)(aq)(l) Imagine of are removed from a flask containing a mixture of , , and at equilibrium, and then answer the following questions. What is the rate of the reverse reaction before any C2H5CO2CH3 has been removed from the flask

Answer 1

Answer:

Greater than zero, and equal to the rate of the reverse reaction

Explanation:

this is an incomplete question in the first place, i saw the complete format online hence the answer am giving here.

Before any C2H5CO2CH3 is or was removed, the system is said to be in equilibrium.

This means that the rate of consumption of reactants and rate of generation of products are greater than zero and are equal, that means that both the forward and backward reactions are occurs at these rate.
