=1= 0.58
(H) Concentration of NaOH reactedwith Ethyl Acetate (mol/L)

= CNaOH (H)
= 0.05 mol/L - 0.021mol/L
= 0.029mol/L
(I) Mole of NaOH reacted with Ethyl Acetate in Sample(mol)
= (H) x VS
= 0.029mol/L x 0.05 L
= 1.45 x 10-3mol
(J) Concentration of Ethyl Acetate reacted with NaOH (mol/L)

Calculation for Ea
K = from slope
A = y intercept
ln k =

( ) + ln A

for first experiment the value Ea = -13.46 KJ/mol

forsecond experiment the value Ea = -8.84 KJ/mol
