A liquid-phase mixture of 450 mL of acetic acid, 300 mL of ethanol, 2.00 mL of water, and 2.00 mL ethyl acetate are mixed together at 298 K, where the following reaction will occur: CH3COOCH2CH3 +H2O  CH3COOH +CH3CH2OH, Kc = 3440 Will the reaction occur from left-to-right or right-to-left (as written)? Please support your answer. (Hints: Can you calculate concentrations of the chemical species initially in appropriate units. Starting with the densities, i.e., specific gravities, and volumes, molar amounts of each species can be determine. Also, the total volume can be calculated; assume the volume change due to mixing the four solvents is zero. Can you calculate Qc?)
