But water is taken in large excess
for hydrolysis, therefore, concentration of water is not altered much
during the reaction Thus, the rate of reaction is affected by
concentration of ethyl acetate only For example, during the hydrolysis
of 0 01 mol of ethyl acetate with 10 mol of water, amounts of the
reactants and products at the beginning (t = 0) and completion (t) of
the reaction are given as under
