When ethyl acetate was hydrolyzed in the presence of 0.1 M HCl , the constant was found to be 5.40 xx 10^(-5) s^(-1) . But when 0.1 M H_(2)SO_(4) was used for hydrolyiss, the rate constant found to be 6.20 xx 10^(-5) s^(-1) . form these we can say that

When ethyl acetate was was hydrolysedin presemce of 0.1 M HCl, the rate constant was found to be 5.4xx10^(-5)s^(-1) . But in presence of 0.1 M H_(2)SO_(4) the rate constant was found to be 6.25xx10^(-5)s^(-1) . Thus it may be concluded that:

The first order rate constant for the decomposition of N_(2)O_(5) is 6.2 xx 10^(-4)s^(-1) . The half-life period for this decomposition is

Assertion (A): Hydrolyiss of ethyl acetate in the presence of acid is a reaction of first order whereas in the presence of alkali, it is a reaction of second order. Reason (R ): Acid acts as catalyst only whereas alkali act as one of the reactant.
