When ethyl acetate was hydrolysed in presence of 0.1 N HCl, the rate constant was found to be 5.40xx10^(-5)s^(-1). But when 0.1" N H"_(2)SO_(4) was used for the hydrolysis, the rate constant was found to be 6.20xx10^(-5)s^(-1). From these values we can say that

Answer»

`H_(2)SO_(4)` is stronger than HCl
`H_(2)SO_(4)` is weaker than HCl
Both the acids have equal strength
The data is insufficient to COMPARE the strengths of HCl and `H_(2)SO_(4)`.

Solution :(a) : For EQUIMOLAR solution of two acids, `("Strength of Acid 1")/("Strenght of Acid 2")=(k_(1))/(k_(2))`
