When ethyl acetate was hydrolysed in presence of 0.1 M HCI, the constant was found to be 5.40 × 10–5 s–1. But when 0.1 M H2SO4 was used for hydrolysis, the rate constant was found to be 6.20 × 10–5s–1
From these we can say that
1
H2SO4 is stronger than HCl
2
H2SO4and HCl are both of the same strength
3
H2SO4 is weaker than HCl
4
The data is insufficient to compare the strength of HCl and H2SO4 .
