We see that when we double our initial concentration of hydroxide, our initial rate also doubles. That means that our hydroxide is also proportional to our rate. So now with this result, we can find our rate law. So, rate law is the following equation the rate of my reaction in the forward direction is equal to the rate constant of the forward reaction times the concentration of methylacetate times the concentration of hydroxide. Now, notice my exponents are each one. That means there is a direct relationship between our rate of reaction and our concentration.
