Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
a) `CH_3 COOH + C_2 H_5 OH overset(H^+)hArr CH_3 COOC_2 H_5 + H_2 O `
b) `H_3 C COO^- + C_2 H_5 OH overset(""^(-)OH)hArr CH_3 COOC_2 H_5 + H_2 O`
Hydrolysis of ester in acidic medium is Ist order and reversible reaction
Hydrolysis of ester in basic medium is IInd order and inreversible reaction
