Answer 2

The hydrolysis of methyl acetate by acid is of pseudo-first-order reaction.

• The hydrolysis of methyl acetate is given as-
• $CH_3COOCH_3+H_2O\rightarrow CH_3COOH+CH_3OH$.
• The reaction rate depends on the concentration of methyl acetate and water.
• But here the amount of water is excess and the concentration of water does not affect much by this hydrolysis. Thus we can say that the reaction rate only depends on the concentration of methyl acetate.
• So, hydrolysis of methyl acetate by acid is of the pseudo first order.
