Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics Question with Solution | TestHub

One of the alternative form of rate equation of first order reaction is acid catatysed hydrolysis of ester. Kinetic data for hydrolysis of 3M ethyl acetate solution in presence of HCl as catalyst is given. A constant volume of reaction mixture is taken at different time and titrated against standard NaOH solution.

If the rate law for this reaction is given by

$R=k_{reaction}[ester][H^{+}]=k_{apparent}\left[ester\right]$ , where $H^{+}$ is the catalyst, then
