Abstract

In the present research paper, second-order rate constants for the alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl benzoate and of ethyl p-nitrobenzoate in ethanol–water mixtures in the ethanol mol fraction range 0.16–0.72 and at 278.15– 318.15 K measured by a specially developed titrimetric technique. The results show interesting variations in the rate constants with ethanol content at the various temperatures, especially over the mol fraction ranges 0.16–0.25 and 0.4–0.5. The rate constant (k2) data, the Arrhenius activation energy (EA) and preexponential factor (A) for ethyl benzoate and the parameters of the fitted polynomials from which other derived thermodynamic functions may be calculated are provided as supplementary material.
