Abstract
Emphasis has been placed on the data for the hydrolysis of methyl formate i n neutral medium ova the temperature range 293-343 K to illustrate the meth od, employing numerical integration and the criteria of least squares for t he evaluation of the first and second order rate constants in kirrman's equ ation by sum of trapezoids. The values obtained for second order rate const ant K-1 (L mol(-1) sec(-1)) contrast the values reported in literature. The hydrolysis of methyl formate involves alkyl-oxygen cleavage.
