Question

Consider the base hydrolysis of an ester. RCOOR' + OH⁻ → RCOO⁻ + R'OH (where R and R' represent organic groups). The kinetics of this reaction, for a particular ester, were studied using the isolation method. The overall rate law can be posed as: -d[RCOOR'] / dt = k[RCOOR']^n [OH⁻]^m What is the overall rate constant, k, for the reaction? (include appropriate units) k = ?
