\(100 \text{ cm}^3\) of \(1\text{M } \text{CH}_3\text{COOH}\) and \(100 \text{cm}^3\) of \(2\text{M } \text{CH}_3\text{OH}\) were mixed to form an ester, which follows Ist order kinetics with respect to both \(\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}\) and \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH}\). The change in their initial rate, if each solution is mixed with equal number of volume of water would be :

  1. A 4 times
  2. B 0.25 times
  3. C 2 times
  4. D 0.5 times
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.25 times

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial concentrations in the mixture: \([\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}]_1 = \frac{1 \text{ M} \times 100 \text{ cm}^3}{(100 + 100) \text{ cm}^3} = 0.5 \text{ M}\) \([\text{CH}_3\text{OH}]_1 = \frac{2 \text{ M} \times 100 \text{ cm}^3}{(100 + 100) \text{ cm}^3} = 1.0 \text{ M}\)…
