The rate of the reaction of methyl ethyl acetate with


The rate of the reaction of methyl ethyl acetate with hydroxide to form acetate ion and ethanol as shown in the following reaction, CH3COOC2H5(aq) + OH-(aq) => CH3COO-(aq) + C2H5OH(aq) was measured at several temperatures and the following data were collected:

Temp.(Degrees C)       Rate Constant k (M-1s-1)

15                              0.0521

25                              0.101

35                              0.184

45                              0.332

Using this data, graph In k versus 1/T. Using your graph, determine the value of Ea. Show graph.
