1.	Ä°dm3 of 2 M CH3COOH is mixed with 1 dm3of 3 M ethanol to form ester. The initial rate ifeach solution is diluted with an equal volumeof water, would becomeWil
Answer» r = k[CH₃COOH][C₂H₅OH] . Initial rate: r₁ = k(a)(b) The "final", r₂ =k(a/2)(b/2) (r₂/r₁) = [k(a/2)(b/2)]/ [k(ab)] = [ab/4] / [ab] = 1/4 ⟶ r₂/r₁ = 0.25 ⟶ r₂ = (0.25)r₁ The final rate, is 0.25 times the inital rate.

Answer»

r = k*[CH₃COOH]*[C₂H₅OH] .

Initial rate: r₁ = k*(a)*(b)

The "final", r₂ =k*(a/2)*(b/2)

(r₂/r₁) = [k(a/2)(b/2)]/ [k(a*b)]

= [ab/4] / [ab]

= 1/4

⟶ r₂/r₁ = 0.25

⟶ r₂ = (0.25)*r₁

The final rate, is 0.25 times the inital rate.
