The document describes a laboratory experiment to determine the reaction order and rate constant of the reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and ethyl acetate (CH3COOC2H5). The group prepared 0.1 M solutions of each reactant and mixed them in a batch reactor at room temperature while measuring conductivity over time. Calculations using the conductivity readings showed the reaction was second order. The rate constant was determined to be 1.291651 × 10-3 at 21°C based on the nonlinear ln(CA/CAo) vs time graph.
