Consider the following statements:
The rate law for the acid catalysed hydrolysis of an ester being given as
Rate = k[H+][ester]=k′[ester] . If the acid concentration is doubled at constant ester concentration
1. the second order rate constant, k is doubled
2. the pseudo first order rate constant, k′ is doubled
3. the rate of the reaction is doubled.
Which of the above statements are correct?
(a) 1 and 2
(b) 2 and 3
(c) 1 and 3
(d) 1, 2 and 3
