Can you please solve question 13.52 and show all of the steps to the solution 

13.52 The industrial solvent ethyl acetate is produced by the
reaction of acetic acid with ethanol:
CH3CO2H(soln) + CH3CH2OH(soln) =
Acetic acid
Ethanol
CH;CO2CH2CH3(soln) + H2O(soln)
Ethyl acetate
(a) Write the equilibrium constant expression for Kc.
(b) A solution prepared by mixing 1.00 mol of acetic acid
and 1.00 mol of ethanol contains 0.65 mol of ethyl
acetate at equilibrium. Calculate the value of Ke.
Explain why you can calculate K. without knowing the
volume of the solution.
