This is a HOMOGENEOUS equilibrium (not a heterogeneous equilibrium!!!). All the four components exist in one phase. Hence, water should appear in the equilibrium law.
The mole ratio of the four components is 1 : 1 : 1 : 1. Since equal amounts of ethanoic acid and ethanol were mixed initially, equal amounts of the ester and water would be formed at equilibrium.
CH₃CO₂C₂H₅ + H₂O ⇌ C₂H₅OH + CH₃CO₂H Kc = 0.27
Eqm (mol dm⁻³): y y 0.42 0.42
At equilibrium: Kc = [C₂H₅OH] [CH₃CO₂H] / ([CH₃CO₂C₂H₅][H₂O])
0.27 = 0.42² / y²
y = √(0.42² / 0.27)
y = 0.81
The answer: C. 0.81 mol dm⁻³
