MediumWhy is the ester hydrolysis slow in the beginning and becomes faster after sometime?
(N/A) Ester hydrolysis can be represented as:
$Ester + H_2O \longrightarrow Acid + Alcohol$
The acid produced in the reaction acts as a catalyst and makes the reaction faster.
Substances that act as catalysts in the same reaction in which they are obtained as products are known as autocatalysts.
This phenomenon is called autocatalysis.
