Question
Consider the following statements. The law for the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of an ester being given as rate = K [H+] [ester] = K ′ [ester]. If the acid (strong) concentration is doubled at constant ester concentration,
1. the second-order rate constant, K, is doubled.
2. the pseudo first-order rate constant, K ′ is doubled.
3. the rate of reaction is doubled.
Which of the above statement is correct?
Options
A.1 and 2
B.2 and 3
C.1 and 3
D.1, 2 and 3
Solution
K′ = K⋅[H+]
On doubling [H+], K′ will double but K will remain unchanged.
