Why hydrolysis of ethyl acetate with NaO...

Why hydrolysis of ethyl acetate with NaOH follows second order kinetics while acidic hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is a first order reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In case of alkaline hydrolysis, rate of reaction depends upon the concentration of ethyl acetate as well as NaOH but in case of acidic hydrolysis, rate of reaction depends upon the concentration of ethyl acetate only.
