1.Hydrolysis of ester (ethyl ethanoate) in the presence of NaOH, CH3COOCHCH3 + NaOH CH3COONa + CH3CHOH (ethyl ethanoate) (sodium ethanoate) (ethanol) ...Eq-1a

The reaction follows 2nd order kinetics, 1st order in ester and 1st order in NaOH. The reaction is carried out in a batch reactor at 35C, the initial concentrations of ester and NaOH are different.

(a) Write the differential form of the rate equation and simplify it.

(b) Perform the separation of variables and write down the boundary condition of the system.

(c) Apply the partial fraction method to decompose the function into small fractions that can be easily integrated.

(d) Integrate the fractions and simplify the integrated concentration versus time equation for the reactants.
