Question

The initial rate of hydrolysis of methyl acetate by a weak acid(ha, 1m) is 1/100th of that of strong acid at 25 degrees celcius. the ka of ha is

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

10^-4

Explanation:

Rate in weak acid = 1/100 ( rate in strong acid)

∴[H+]weakacid = 1/100 = [H+]strongacid

∴[H+]weakacid = 1/100M =10^−2 M

∴Cα=10^−2

∴Ka=10^−4
