Assertion : Hydrolysis of ester in acidic medium follows first order kinetics. Reason : Hydrolysis of ester is independent of the concentration of acid used.

Options

  1. AIf both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
  2. BIf both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark
  3. CIf Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).
  4. DIf both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).

Correct answer

A. If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).

Step-by-step solution

Hydrolysis of ester is an example of pseudo first order reaction. ( ) Concentration of acid is large.
