On mixing 1 `dm^(3)` of 3M ethanol with 1 `dm^(3)` of 2 M ethanoic acid, an ester is formed. `C_(2)H_(5)OH+CH_(3)COOHrarrCH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)+H_(2)O` If each solution is diluted with an equal volume of water , the decrease in the initial rate would beA. 0.5 timesB. 4 timesC. 0.25 timesD. 2 times |
Answer» Correct Answer - C `r=k[CH_(3)COOH][C_(2)H_(5)OH]` `or" "k=k[(n]/[V)][(n]/[V)]` Increasing volume (V) by twice (due to dillution) will reduce the rate by 4 times. `i.e." "r=0.25k[CH_(3)COOH][C_(2)H_(5)OH]` |
