Detailed Solution

  • When each solution is diluted by equal volume of water, the concentration of each chemical is reduced to half the original.
  • This is an elementary reaction which leads to the conclusion that the order of this reaction would be 2.
    The rate equation is v=k[CH3COOH]1×[C2H5OH]1. Hence the rate decreases by a factor of 1/2×1/2=1/4=.25
    Thus the rate after dilution will be 4 times lesser than earlier rate.
