← ScienceWhich consequence results when product removal disrupts equilibrium during ester hydrolysis?
A)Hydrolysis rate increases continually✓
B)Ester concentration reaches initial
C)Activation energy threshold decreases
D)Reaction halts to completion
💡 Explanation
Removing products shifts equilibrium to favour additional hydrolysis via Le Chatelier's principle, therefore, the hydrolysis rate continually increases because the system attempts to counteract the change, rather than reaching a steady-state ester concentration.
