  • A
    The order of the reaction is $m$
  • B
    The order of the reaction is $n$
  • C

The reaction $CH_{3}COF + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH + HF$ is studied under two conditions:
Condition $I$: $[H_{2}O]_{0} = 1.00 \ M$,$[CH_{3}COF]_{0} = 0.01 \ M$
Condition $II$: $[H_{2}O]_{0} = 0.02 \ M$,$[CH_{3}COF]_{0} = 0.80 \ M$
Time $(t)$ min (Condition $I$) / $[CH_{3}COF]$ $M$ Time $(t)$ min (Condition $II$) / $[H_{2}O]$ $M$
