As the hydrolysis proceeds, there will be proportional proport increase in the concentration of acetic acid formed,

b. The hydrolysis of an ester such as ethyl acetate illustrates a himolecular reaction that gives sodium acetate and ethanol as the product from which second.order rate constant can be calculated

CH3COOCH+NaOH->CH COONa+CHOH

If 'b' moles of ester and 'a' moles of NaOH are taken initially, then

a'a Vo (the volume of acid equivalent to the amount of NaOH present initially)

Ca x) a Vr(the volume of acid equivalent to the

amount of NaOH present at time, 1)
