Note: Careful pipetti g a d titrati g tech iques are esse tial if good data are to be obtai ed.
The temperature should be co trolled as precisely as possible.

1. Obtai about 50 mL methyl acetate i a large test tube a d £00 mL 1.0 M HCl i a
Erle meyer flask. ÷llow these solutio s to equilibrate i a 25oC bath. ÷lso equilibrate a
flask co tai i g about 200 mL of deio ized water.

2. I to a dry 250 mL Erle meyer flask pipet 50 mL of the HCl a d 50 mL of water. To


i itiate the reactio add from a pipet 10 mL of methyl acetate. Start the timer whe the
pipet is half emptied. Mix the solutio thoroughly a d keep it i the bath.

£. ÷s soo as possible, withdraw a 5 mL aliquot of the reactio mixture a d tra sfer it to a


150 mL Erle meyer which co tai s approximately 50 mL of water. The receiver should be
pre-chilled i a ice bath to make sure that the hydrolysis is sufficie tly slowed. Note the
time at which the pipet has bee half emptied.

4. Titrate the diluted aliquot as soo as possible with sta dard NaOH usi g phe olphthalei
as the i dicator.
5. Repeat steps £ a d 4 at 10 mi ute i tervals for o e hour a d for 20 mi ute i tervals for
a other hour, if possible. Make sure that the pipet used to withdraw each 5 mL aliquot is
clea a d dry.

6. ÷t some co ve ie t time titrate 2 or £ aliquots of the equilibrated HCl so that the


molarity at 25oC will be k ow accurately.

Repeat the above procedure usi g 100 mL 1.0 M HCl a d 10 mL methyl acetate as the
reactio mixture. This reactio will proceed more rapidly, so aliquots should be withdraw
at shorter i tervals. juplicate ru s should be performed if possible. ÷ efficie t stude t
pair should be able to follow two or more properly spaced reactio s at the same time.

Repeat the procedure at £5oC usi g the reactio co ditio s give i step 2. Remember that
the rate will be about double that at 25oC, so aliquots will have to be withdraw at shorter
i tervals. jetermi e the molar co ce tratio of the HCl at £5oC.
