The saponification of the ester phenyl acetate by sodium phenolate in aqueous solution has the following stoichiometry: C6H5O+H2Ok1k1C6H5OH+OH;veryfast(A)OH+CH3COOC6H5k2CH3COOH+C6H5O;slow(B)CH3COOH+OHk3k3CH3COO+H2OOveryfast(C) The stoichiometry indicated above can be obtained by summing two times reactions (A), (B), and (C). (a) If reaction (B) is the rate-limiting step, what form do you expect the rate equation for the overall reaction to take? Express your answer solely in terms of species appearing in the overall stoichiometric equation. (b) Are the following experimental data consistent with this mechanism? If so, what is the experimentally observed rate constant? Note that the initial concentrations of the ester and the phenolate ion are equal to one another. Be very careful to note the appropriate stoichiometric equation for use in your analysis
