The conversion of acetyl chloride to methyl acetate occurs via the following two-step mechanism:

a. Write the rate equation for this reaction, assuming the first step is rate-determining.

b. If the concentration of –OCH3 were increased 10 times, what would happen to the rate of the reaction?

c. If the concentrations of both CH3COCl and –OCH3 were increased 10 times, what would happen to the rate of the reaction?

d. Classify the conversion of acetyl chloride to methyl acetate as an addition, elimination, or substitution.
