Question
The hydrolysis of methyl formate in acid solution has the rate expression rate = K [HCOOCH3][H+]. The balanced equation is HCOOCH3 + H2O → HCOOH + CH3OH. The rate law contains [H+] though the balanced equation does not contain H+, because
Options
A.more for convenience to express the rate law
B.H+ ion is a catalyst of the reaction
C.H+ ion is an important constituent of any reaction
D.all acids contain H+ ions
