Question:

While ethanol can be made by biological fermentation, for large-scale production the following nonbiological reaction starting with ethylene and water can be used instead: 

C2H4 + HO CH5OH

If stoichiometric amounts of ethylene and water are used, compute the equilibrium constant and the equilibrium extent of reaction at 

a. 1 bar and 25°C, assuming the liquid solution is ideal 

b. Repeat the calculation assuming a nonideal liquid solution if formed.
