The organic acid, acooh, reacts reversibly with the alcohol, boh, to form the ester acoob according to the stoichiometric equation: + ⇌ + the reaction will be carried out in an ideal batch reactor and the water will be removed rapidly by stripping with an inert gas as the reaction proceeds. therefore, the reverse reaction can be neglected. the rate equation for the forward reaction is:

Achemical equilibrium between gaseous reactants and products is shown. n2(g) + 3h2(g) ⇌ 2nh3(g) how will the reaction be affected if the pressure on the system is increased? it will shift toward the reactant side as there is lower pressure on the reactant side. it will shift toward the product side as there is higher pressure on the product side. it will shift toward the reactant side as there are a greater number of moles of gas on the reactant side. it will shift toward the product side as there are a fewer number of moles of gas on the product side.
