The alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is represented by the equation $CH_3COOC_2H_5 + NaOH \to CH_3COONa + C_2H_5OH$. Experimentally,it is found that for this reaction $\frac{dx}{dt} = k[CH_3COOC_2H_5][NaOH]$. Then the reaction is

  • A
    Bimolecular and of first order
  • B
    Bimolecular and of second order
  • C
    Pseudo-bimolecular
  • D
    Pseudo-unimolecular

$Zn + 2H^{+} \to Zn^{2+} + H_2$
The half-life period is independent of the concentration of zinc at constant $pH$. For the constant concentration of $Zn$,the rate becomes $100$ times when $pH$ is decreased from $3$ to $2$. Identify the correct statements $(pH = -\log [H^{+}])$:
$(A)$ $\frac{dx}{dt} = k[Zn]^0[H^{+}]^2$
$(B)$ $\frac{dx}{dt} = k[Zn][H^{+}]^2$
$(C)$ Rate is not affected if the concentration of zinc is made four times and that of $H^{+}$ ion is halved.
$(D)$ Rate becomes four times if the concentration of $H^{+}$ ion is doubled at constant $Zn$ concentration.
