In an experiment that determines the equilibrium constant for an esterification reaction, by the reaction of a carboxylic acid (Acetic acid) with an alcohol (1-propanol)

In an experiment that determines the equilibrium constant for an esterification reaction, by the reaction of a carboxylic acid (Acetic acid) with an alcohol (1-propanol) to produce an ester (propyl acetate) and water; if you started with products instead of the reactants of acetic acid and alcohol, would the initial amounts of 0.20 moles of ester and 0.6 moles of water have given the same equilibrium constant? Explain your answer.

CH3COOH(l) + C3H7OH(l) <-----> CH3COOC3H7(l) + H2O(l)
