So we double it to 0.1 molar, and this guy stays at 0.5
molar, and we see that our initial rate also doubles to 0.4. Now, that means that because we double this and our initial rate doubles, these guys are directly proportional. In other words, if you double this guy, you must double the initial rate. So let's conduct the same exact experiment. But now we keep our initial concentration of methyl acetate the same, and we double our concentration of our initial hydroxide. So let's stay at 0.1
molar and go from 0.5 molar of our hydroxide to 0.1 molar.
