1. This question has 2 part(s).
1.1. Ethyl ethanoate is an ester.
One method for the formation of ethyl ethanoate is the reaction between ethanoland ethanoic acid, which is catalysed by hydrogen ions.
CH3COOH + C2H5OH ⇌ CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
An incomplete simplified mechanism for this reaction is shown.
i) Add curly arrows and relevant lone pairs of electrons to complete the mechanism.

ii) In an experiment, the oxygen atom in ethanol is replaced by the oxygen-18 isotope, 18O. The products of the esterification are
Label the 18O oxygen atom in one of the products.
Justify your answer.
(2)
iii) Calculate the standard molar entropy of ethyl ethanoate using your knowledge of Gibbs free energy, ∆G, and the data in the table.
Include sign and units in your answer.
Use ∆G = −RT ln K and other appropriate equations.
