The reversible hydrolysis of ethyl acetate to ethanol and aceticacid has an activation energy of 1 kJ/mol and a pre-exponentialfactor of 1.5*10-2 Mxsecy .Thereaction is proceeding at 98.6oF.The density of water is1000 g/L and the molecular weight of water is 18.02 g/mol.Assumethe reaction is elementary and that reversible reaction isnegligible when carried out at 98.6oF.Below is thechemical structure for ethyl acetate:
Write and balance the equation for the hydrolysis of ethylacetate to ethanol and acetic acid.
Find the integrated rate law for the loss of ethyl acetate.
What is the concentration of ethyl acetate after 2 minutes ifthe original concentration was 10mM?
