The alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate...

The alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is represented by the equation
`CH_(3) COOC_(2)H_(5) + NaOH to CH_(3) COONa + C_(2)H_(5) OH`
Experimentally it is found that for this reaction
`(dx)/(dt) = k [CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)][NaOH]`
Then the reaction is

A

Bimolecular and of first order

B

Bimolecular and of second order

C

Pseudo–bimolecular

D

Pseudo–unimolecular

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
