The hydrolysis of ethyl acetate in an acidic medium is a: (A) Zero order reaction (B) First order reaction (C) Pseudo first order reaction (D) Second order reaction
The hydrolysis of ethyl acetate in an acidic medium typically follows a pseudo-first-order reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) Pseudo first order reaction.
In a pseudo-first-order reaction, one of the reactants is present in excess, and its concentration remains approximately constant throughout the reaction. In the case of the hydrolysis of ethyl acetate in an acidic medium, water is present in excess, and its concentration remains relatively constant. As a result, the reaction rate depends primarily on the concentration of ethyl acetate, making it effectively a pseudo-first-order reaction with respect to ethyl acetate.
