CH3CO2C2H5+H2O→CH3CO2H+C2H5OH Rate =k[H2O][CH3CO2C2H5] The initial concentrations of ethyl acetate and water are 0.001M and 2M respectively. The value of rate constant, k of the reaction, if 99% of ethyl acetate is hydrolyzed in 10 seconds is
CH3COOC2H5+H2O→CH3‌COOH+C2H5‌OH Rate =[H2O][CH3COOC2H5] Given, initial [H2O]=2M initial [CH3COOC2H5]=0.001M, Value of K= ?, If 99% ethyl acetate hydrolyse in 10s. As the initial concentrations of ethyl acetate and H2O vary widely. ∴ The reaction might be pseudo Ist order k=‌
