Question
Consider the base hydrolysis of an ester.
RCOOR' + OH− → RCOO− + R'OH (where R and R' represent organic groups).
The kinetics of this reaction, for a particular ester, were studied using the isolation method.
When [OH−] >> [RCOOR'] a pseudo-rate law can be posed:
−d[RCOOR′]dt=k′[RCOOR′]^n
With initial concentrations:
[OH−]0 = 0.900 M
[RCOOR']0 = 0.0010 M,
a plot of ln[RCOOR'] versus t gave a straight line with slope = -71.5 s-1 and y-intercept = -6.91.
1a) What is the order "n"?
n =
1b) What is the corresponding pseudo rate constant k'? (include appropriate units)
