Determining Kc for an esterification reaction

The equilibrium constant for the acid-catalysed esterification of ethanoic acid with ethanol will be determined. This particular reaction is quite slow so it is possible to measure the concentration of a reactant by titration without significantly disturbing the equilibrium in the short space of time it takes to carry out the titration.ENVIRONMENTAL CARE: None of the reactants or products are damaging to the environment...
