Chemistry Chemical Kinetics General Matrix Match Questions
Published on: August 14, 2026

Kinetics of hydrolysis of ethyl acetate catalysed by an acid is followed by titrating a fixed volume of reaction mixture with a standard alkali solution at different intervals of time. The ester hydrolysis is acid catalysed. The V 0 , V t and V ∞ are volume of alkali required at t = 0, t = t and t = ∞ , then match the following as per the given fact.

Column-I

Column-II(Slope)

(i) V0 is proportional to acid initially present and at time t

[A] Total concentrations    of concentration of acid formed

(ii) Vt is proportional to initially

[B] Concentration of acid present as catalyst

(iii) (V – Vt) is

proportional to

[C] Concentration of acid formed after the

completion of reaction

(iv) (V – V0) is

proportional to

[D] Concentration of ester remaining at time t

(iv) [D]

Sol.

(i) CH 3 COOC 2 H 5 + H 2 O CH 3 COOH + C 2 H 5 OH

At t = 0 a 0

At t = t (a o – x) x x

At t = ∞ a 0 a 0

Let bo moles of acid present initially

∴ V 0 α b o V t α b 0 + x

or (V t – V 0 ) α x

V ∞ α a 0 + b 0 or (V ∞ –V 0 ) α a 0

or (V ∞ –V 0 ) α (a 0 – x)

(ii) CH 3 COOC 2 H 5 + H 2 O CH 3 COOH + C 2 H 5 OH

At t = 0 a 0

At t = t (a o – x) x x

At t = ∞ a 0 a 0

Let bo moles of acid present initially

∴ V 0 α b o V t α b 0 + x

or (V t – V 0 ) α x

V ∞ α a 0 + b 0 or (V ∞ –V 0 ) α a 0

or (V ∞ –V 0 ) α (a 0 – x)

(iii) CH 3 COOC 2 H 5 + H 2 O CH 3 COOH + C 2 H 5 OH

At t = 0 a 0

At t = t (a o – x) x x

At t = ∞ a 0 a 0

Let bo moles of acid present initially

∴ V 0 α b o V t α b 0 + x

or (V t – V 0 ) α x

V ∞ α a 0 + b 0 or (V ∞ –V 0 ) α a 0

or (V ∞ –V 0 ) α (a 0 – x)

(iv) CH 3 COOC 2 H 5 + H 2 O CH 3 COOH + C 2 H 5 OH

At t = 0 a 0

At t = t (a o – x) x x

At t = ∞ a 0 a 0

Let bo moles of acid present initially

∴ V 0 α b o V t α b 0 + x

or (V t – V 0 ) α x

V ∞ α a 0 + b 0 or (V ∞ –V 0 ) α a 0

or (V ∞ –V 0 ) α (a 0 – x)
