The alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is represented by the equation $CH_3COOC_2H_5 + NaOH \to CH_3COONa + C_2H_5OH$. Experimentally,it is found that for this reaction $\frac{dx}{dt} = k[CH_3COOC_2H_5][NaOH]$. Then the reaction is

  • A
    Bimolecular and of first order
  • B
    Bimolecular and of second order
  • C
    Pseudo-bimolecular
  • D
    Pseudo-unimolecular
