Extracted text: In a transesterification reaction, a triglyceride reacts with an alcohol to form an ester and glycerol. Many students learn about the reaction between methanol (CH3OH) and ethyl acetate (CH3CH2OCOCH3) as a sample reaction before studying the chemical reactions that produce biodiesel: CH3OH+CH3CH2OCOCH3 CH3OCOCH3+CH3CH2OH The rate law for the reaction between methanol and ethyl acetate is, under certain conditions, experimentally determined to be: rate = k[ CH3 OH ] What is the order of reaction with respect to methanol and ethyl acetate, and what is the overall order of reaction?
