Solution

The hydrolysis of ethyl acetate in acid medium is a I order reaction.
It is an example of pseudo unimolecular reaction.
$C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5} + H_{2} O (e x c e s s) H^{+} - - \to C H_{3} C O O H + C_{2} H_{5} O H$
Although it is termolecular (molecularity $= 3$ ) reaction, its order is 1 as the concentration of $H^{+}$ ion and $H_{2} O$ remains constant during the reaction.
