Chapter 11, Problem 32QAP

Consider the reaction

  ${\text{CH}}_3{\text{CO}}_2{\text{CH}}_3\left(aq\right)+{\text{OH}}^{-}\left(aq\right)\to {\text{CH}}_3{\text{CO}}_2{}^{-}\left(aq\right)+{\text{CH}}_3\text{OH}\left(aq\right)$The following data are obtained at a certain temperature:

(a) What is rate expression for the reaction?

(b) Calculate k

(c) What is the rate of the reaction when 10.00 mL of ${\text{CH}}_3{\text{COOCH}}_3\left(d=0.932\text{g}/\text{mL}\right)$is added to 75.00 mL of 1.50 M NaOH? (Assume volumes are additive.)
