When ethyl acetate was hydrolysed in pressure of 0.1 N HCI, the rate constant was found to be 5.40 xx 10^(-5) sec^(-1).But when 0.1 N H_2SO_4 was used for hydrolysis, the rate constant was found to be 6.25 xx10^(-5)sec^(-1).Thus, it may be concluded that :

Answer»

`H_2SO_4`is STRONGER than HCI
`H_2SO_4`is weaker than HCL
`H_2SO_4` and HCl both have the same strength
the data are not sufficient to compare the strength of `H_2SO_4` and HCl

Solution :RELATIVE strength in favour of `H_2SO_4`
`=("rate CONSTANT of reaction catalysed by "H_2SO_4)/("rate constant of reaction catalysed by HCl")`
