Methyl acetate, CH3COOCH3, reacts in basic solution to give acetate ion, CH3COO−, and methanol, CH3OH. CH3COOCH3(aq) + OH−(aq) h CH3COO−(aq) + CH3OH(aq) The overall order of the reaction was determined by starting with methyl acetate and hydroxide ion at the same concentrations, so [CH3COOCH3] = [OH−] = x. Then Rate = k[CH3COOCH3] m[OH−] n = kxm+n Determine the overall order and the value of the rate constant by plotting the following data assuming first- and then second-order kinetics.
