(B) The alkaline hydrolysis of an ester is known as saponification. The reaction is given by: $RCOOR' + OH^- \rightarrow RCOO^- + R'OH$. The rate of this reaction depends on the concentration of both the ester and the hydroxide ion. Therefore,the rate law is: $\text{Rate} = k[RCOOR'][OH^-]$. Since the sum of the powers of the concentration terms in the rate law is $1 + 1 = 2$,it is a second-order reaction.
