Consider the following statements,

The rate law for the acid catalysed hydrolysis of an ester being given as

Rate=k  [H+]  [ester]=k′  [ester]Rate = k\;\left[ {{H^ + }} \right]\;\left[ {ester} \right] = k'\;\left[ {ester} \right]

If the acid concentration is doubled at constant ester concentration

1. The second order rate constant, kk is doubled.

2. The pseudo first order rate constant, kk is double.

3. The rate of the reaction is doubled.

Which of the above statements are correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
2 and 3
Option B (2 and 3) is correct because doubling the acid concentration doubles the pseudo-first-order rate constant and the overall reaction rate, while the second-order rate constant remains unchanged.
