The following experimental data was recorded when an optically pure sample of 2-phenylcyclohexanol underwent esterification by propionic anhydride in side-by-side trials with (S)-HBTM catalyst and (R)-HBTM catalyst. Further analysis of the data revealed the rate constant for the (R)-HBTM catalyst was 6.2 times 10-4 s-1 and the corresponding rate of the (S)-HBTM catalyst was 4.6 times 10-5 s-1. Which of the following statements describe the data? select all that apply. A steeper slope represents a faster reaction. The (S)-HBTM reaction is faster. A larger rate constant represents a faster reaction. The (R)-HBTM reaction is faster. A shallower slope represents a faster reaction. A smaller rate constant represents a faster reaction. Identically samples of optically pure 1-phenylethanol were reacted in parallel with propionic anhydride in the presence of either (R)-HBTM catalyst or (S)=-HBTM catalyst. the rate of conversion oif alcohol to ester was followed by TLC.
