The reaction of ethyl acetate with sodium hydroxide, CH3COOC2H5(aq) + NaOH(aq) = CH3COONA(aq) + C2H5OH(aq) is first order in CH3COOC2H5 and first order in NaOH. If the concentration of CH3COOC2H5 was increased by half and the concentration of NaOH was quadrupled, by what factor would the reaction rate increase?

The recombination of l atoms in the gas phase in the presence of argon (which removes the energy released by the formation of an l-l bond, and so prevents the immediate dissociation of a newly formed l2 molecule) was investigated and the order of the reaction was determined by the method of initial rates. The initial rates of reaction of 2 l(g) + Ar(g) → l2(g) + Ar(g) were as follows: [l]0/( 10-5 mol dm-3) 1.0 2.0 4.0 6.0V0/(mol dm-3 S- 1) (a) 8.70 X 10-4 3.48 X 10-3 1.39 X 10-2 3. 13 X 10-2 (b) 4.35 x 10-3 1.74 x 10-2 6.96 x 10-2 1.57 x 10-1 (C) 8.69 X 10-3 3.47 X 10-2 1.38 X 10-1 3. 13 X 10-1The Ar concentrations are (a) 1.0 x 10-3 mol dm-3 , (b) 5.0 x 10-3 mol dm-3, and (c) 1.0 x 10-2 mol dm-3 .
