Numerical Techniques to Estimate Rate Constant of an Ester

Numerical methods are described in which the information available from steady-state kinetic experiments is thoroughly studied, the procedure such as hydrolysis is a chemical decomposition involving breaking of a bonds and addition of elements of water. In this hydrolysis of ester (methyl acetate) with HCl(0.5M) 10ml of methyl acetate is mixed with 100ml of 0.5M HCl in 250 ml beaker at regular time interval of 0,20,40,60,80,100 … min, 10ml of mixture of methyl acetate and HCl is taken into 250ml conical flask and titrated against 0.1M NaOH solution using phenolphthaleinas a indicator. The last titer value i.e., at 100 min is obtained by heating the reaction mixture for 20 min So that the reaction can come for completion. Hence it is concluded that the increase of time the rate of reaction is increasing and the experimental readings has got good agreements with the numerical methods and it is depicted through the graph.
