The ester ethyl ethanoate is hydrolysed slowly in the presence of excess water and a strong acid catalyst, according to the equation shown below: CH3COOC2H5(l) + H2O(l) CH3COOH(l) + C2H5OH(l)

A student obtained some data from which he deduced the amount of ethanoic acid in the reaction mixture over the first 300 minutes of this reaction. a Describe how the student could obtain these data.

Hi @22gy2522

Thank you for posting in the chemistry forum.

I have merged your two threads together as they are duplicates of one another. In future, please refrain from making duplicate threads.

Furthermore, as you have not shown what you have tried and generally speaking, help should not be given until you have demonstrated your thought process so far.
