The molecularity and the order of reaction respectively, for the hydrolysis of methyl acetate in presence of acids are_______________?
Correct answer: C. 2 & 1
- A. 2 & 2
- B. 11 & 2
- C. 2 & 1
- D. 1 & 1
Explanation
Methyl acetate hydrolysis is bimolecular because ester and water participate in the overall reaction, giving molecularity 2. In acid solution the observed kinetics are commonly pseudo-first-order because water is in large excess, giving order 1.
