Although Keq of Equation [1] in Problem 6.57 does not greatly favor formation of the product, it is sometimes possible to use Le Chatelier’s principle to increase the yield of ethyl acetate. Le Châtelier’s principle states that if an equilibrium is disturbed, a system will react to counteract this disturbance. How can Le Châtelier’s principle be used to drive the equilibrium to increase the yield of ethyl acetate? Another example of Le Chatelier’s principle is given in Section 9.8.
