For the reaction C2H5COOC2H5 + H2O → C2H5COOH + C2H5OH, find the concentration of [C2H5COOC2H5] if the rate constant k=0.2 and the rate of the reaction is 0.39 s^-1.(a) 2.87 M(b) 2.01 M(c) 1.99 M(d) 1.95 MI had been asked this question in final exam.This intriguing question originated from Chemical Kinetics topic in chapter Chemical Kinetics of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (d) 1.95 M

Explanation: The REACTION C2H5COOC2H5 + H2O → C2H5COOH + C2H5OH is a pseudo first order reaction and follows first order kinetics with rate law R=k[C2H5COOC2H5].

GIVEN, rate of the reaction R=0.39 s^-1 and rate CONSTANT k=0.2

So, 0.39 = 0.2 × [C2H5COOC2H5]

[C2H5COOC2H5]=1.95 M.
