What is the heat of reaction for hydrolysis of Ethyl Acetate?(a) Greater than zero(b) Less than zero(c) Zero(d) None of the mentionedThis question was posed to me in class test.This interesting question is from Thermodynamics and Kinetics topic in chapter Hydrolysis of Unit Processes |
Answer» CORRECT answer is (c) Zero Explanation: In hydrolysis of ETHYL acetate, the equilibrium position was shown to be independent of the temperature. A calculation of the heat of reaction by the method of bond energies gives a value of zero, since the bonds BROKEN are of the same TYPE as the bonds formed. |
