Solvent effect on solvolysis rate in water-methanol and water-ethanol mixed solvent system

Different solvents can affect the equilibrium constant of a reaction by differential stabilization of the reactant or product. The equilibrium is shifted in the direction of the substance that is preferentially stabilized. Stabilization of the reactant or product can occur through any of the different non-covalent interactions with the solvent such as H-bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, van derwaals interactions etc. Although the Solvent Effect on the Rate and Mechanism of the various type of reaction has been reported but very little attention has paid towards the study of the Solvent Effect on the Thermodynamic Activation Parameter and the solvant-solute interaction, particularly for an ion-dipolar reaction. In order to highlight the above noted idea, it has been proposed to make the kinetic study of the solvent effect on the alkali catalysed hydrolysis of Ethyl Acetate has not been paid even a little attention so far.
