Consider the base hydrolysis of an ester.
)-(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=0.900M
[RCOOR]0=0.0010M,
a plot of ln[RCOOR'] versus t gave a straight line with slope =-2.85103s-1 and y-intercept =-6.91.
What is the order "n"?
n=
What is the corresponding pseudo rate constant k'?(include appropriate units)
k'=
