An acid catalysed hydrolysis of ester follows rate law,R=k[CH_3COOC_2H_5][H^+].Half life in presence of 0.1M HA (ka=10^(-5)​) is 100 min. Then half life (in min) in presence of 0.01M HCl.

Answer»


SOLUTION :`k^(-1)=k[H^+]`
`H^+=sqrt(0.1xx10^(-5))=10^(-3)`
`100="In2"/(kxx10^(-3))`
`t_(1//2)="In2"/(kxx10^(-2))`=10 MIN
