- D. Insufficient
Explanation
The best word to fit in the blank is "insufficient."So the completed sentence is:"The novelist told the publisher that the royalty reimbursement indicated in the agreement was insufficient on the grounds that the research expenditures, including traveling for writing the book, were far more than the royalties projected for a year."Here's why "insufficient" fits well:"Insufficient" means that the amount of royalty reimbursement was not enough to cover the costs the novelist incurred.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.

The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction to form ethyl ethanoate from ethanol and ethanoic acid, C2H5OH + CH3CO2H ⇋ CH3CO2C2H5 + H2O, at 60oC is 4.00. When 1.00 mol each of ethanol and ethanoic acid are allowed to reach equilibrium at 60oC, what is the number of moles of ethyl ethanoate formed?
