The reaction

\text{CH}_3\text{COF} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{HF}

has been studied under the following initial conditions,

Case I		Case II
$[\text{H}_2\text{O}]_0 = 1.0 \text{ M}$		$[\text{H}_2\text{O}]_0 = 0.02 \text{ M}$
$[\text{CH}_3\text{COF}]_0 = 0.01 \text{ M}$		$[\text{CH}_3\text{COF}]_0 = 0.80 \text{ M}$

The variation of concentration with time were noted as:
