Question

The second-order rate constant of the reaction CH3COOC2H5(aq) CH3CO2-(aq) CH3CH2OH(aq) is 0.11dm3mol-1s-1. What is the concentration of ester (CH3COOC2H5) after (a.) 20s (b.) 15min when ethyl acetate is added to sodium so that the initial concentrations are [NaOH]

Answer 1

Answer:

This is the complete part of the question ; the initial concentration are [NaOH]= 0.06 mol/dm^3 and [CH3COOC2H5]=0.110 mol/dm^3 ?

a) concentration of ester (CH3COOC2H5) after 20s = 0.098mol/dm3

b) concentration of ester (CH3COOC2H5) after 15mins = 0.1010mol/dm3

Explanation:

The detailed derivation of second order rate law from first principle and the appropriate substitution is a shown in the attachment.
