![**Kinetics and Equilibrium: Writing the Concentration Equilibrium Expression for a Reaction**
**Task:**
Write the concentration equilibrium constant expression for this reaction:
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CO}_2\text{H}_{(aq)} + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}_{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CO}_2\text{C}_2\text{H}_5_{(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{O}_{(l)} \]
**Instructions:**
In the text box provided, enter the equilibrium expression based on the reaction above. Note that for heterogeneous equilibria involving water as a liquid, the concentration of water is not included in the equilibrium expression.
**Tools:**
- A box for inputting the equilibrium expression.
- Buttons for formatting or clearing the expression.
### Key Points
- Identify the reactants and products in aqueous form.
- Exclude the liquid water from the expression.
- Use proper equilibrium expression format based on the law of mass action.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F868a7cc3-2ad7-4fe7-9a39-259d78c013d4%2F8d02c04e-8f13-45cb-b390-4623c19b402c%2Fftvrbl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

Expert Solution

Step 1: Equilibrium constant (Kc) expression,
Equilibrium constant expression for any reaction is,
yReactant(aq) ----> xProduct(aq)
K = [Products]x/[Reactants]y
Note: pure solid and pure liquid not included in the equilibrium constant expression.
