The hydrolysis of methyl acetate in alkaline solution
`CH_(3)COOH_(3)+OH^(-)rarrCH_(3)COO^(-)+CH_(3)OH` followed rate `=k[CH_(3)COOCH_(3)][OH^(-)]` where `k=0.137` L `"mol"^(-1)s^(-1)` at 298 K A reaction mixture was prepared to have initial concentrations of methyl acetate and `OH^(-)` of `0.050` M each The time taken for `5.0%` of the methyl acetate to be hydrolysed at 298 K is (assume that there is no change in the rate during this interval)
