Equilibrium constant for esterification process
Teacher told us that the concentration term for pure liquids and solids is always $1$. But online I found this reaction:
$$\ce{CH3COOH(l) + CH3CH2OH(l) <=> CH3COOCH2CH3(l) + H2O(l)}$$
...

Distribution coeffecient without concentrations
From what I understand about distribution coefficient is straight from my book — which does not give any practice examples — is that
$$D = \frac{C_\mathrm{A}(\text{ext})}{C_\mathrm{A}(\text{orig})}$$ ...
