Problem: Methyl acetate is to be hydrolyzed by water in a batch reactor at constant temperature. The forward rate constant with some hydrogen ions as a catalyst is 0.000148 liter/mol.min, and the equilibrium constant is 0.219 , the initial concentration of esteris 1.51mol/ lit and of water is 48.76mol/ lit. find: a) The equilibrium concentration of ester b) The time required for 90% of this equilibrium yield to be obtained c) The final composition of the reactor charge assuming no volume change CH3COOCH3+H2OCH3COOH+CH3OHk2
