When an organic acid reacts with an alcohol, a reversible reaction takes place producing an ester and water. 0.40 mol of an organic acid and 0.30 mol of an alcohol are mixed and allowed to stand at 25°C until equilibrium is reached. At equilibrium, 0.20 mol of ester is produced. What is the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, under the conditions used?
