The hydrolysis of methyl acetate into CH3OH and CH3COOH in 1M HCLhas been studied at 25 degrees C. The extent of hydrolysis was measured by titrating the acid formed after measured time intervals with a solution of NaOH. The data are as follows on the volumes of NaOH required:
Time(s)-----------Volume NaOH(ml)
339------------- 26.34
1242------------27.79
2745------------29.71
4546------------31.81
infinity----------39.81
