Identify the autocatalytic reaction from the following

Identify the autocatalytic reaction from the following

  2. $2 \mathrm{KClO}_3(\mathrm{~s}) \xrightarrow{\mathrm{MnO}_2} 2 \mathrm{KCl}(\mathrm{s})+3 \mathrm{O}_2$
  3. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOC}_2 \mathrm{H}_5+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}$
  4. $\mathrm{AgNO}_3(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{KCl}(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{AgCl}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{KNO}_3(\mathrm{aq})$

Solution

Hydrolysis of ester is an example of auto-catalytic reaction, where the reactant acts as catalyst.
