Acid catalysed hydrolysis of ethyl aceta...

Acid catalysed hydrolysis of ethyl acetate follows a pseudo first order kinetics with respect to ester, If the reaction is carried out with large excess of ester, the order with respect to ester will be—

A

`1.5`

B

0

C

2

D

1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In presence of excess ester , the rate of reaction is independent of concentration of ester as it is a pseudo - first order reaction.
