The acid hydroylsis of ester is:
The acid hydroylsis of ester is:
Open in App
Solution
The correct options are
A first order reaction
B bimolecular reaction
C pseudo unimolecular reaction
The acid hydrolysis of ester is a first-order reaction, bimolecular reaction and pseudo unimolecular reaction.
When an ester (such as ethyl acetate) is mixed with water it is converted into alcohol and acid according to the following equation:
CH3COOC2H5+H2O→CH3COOH+C2H5OH
When the amount of water is relatively large, the reaction goes practically to completion (the equilibrium shifts to the right) and the rate is first order with respect to the ester. The hydrolysis takes place slowly with pure water and is catalyzed by acids.
Hence, options A, B and C are correct.
