The hydrolysis of ester in alkaline medium is a

A

1 st order reaction with molecularity 1

B

2nd order reaction with molecularity 2

C

1 st order reaction with molecularity 2

D

2 nd order reaction with molecularity 1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
General equation for the alkaline hydrolysis of an ester
`RCOOR'NaOH rarr RCOONa+R'OH`
Rate `= k[RCOOR'][NaOH]`
Here, order = 2 and molecularity = 2.
