//Some esters can be prepared by esterification, a reaction in which a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, heated in the presence of a mineral acid catalyst, form an ester and water: The reaction is reversible. As a specific example of an esterification reaction, butyl acetate can be made from acetic acid and 1-butanol.//

Tahseen - this is not an answer-mill where you plug in your homework and out come an answer - 10/10 !
as the posts above show
here - read for the first time or re-read the chapter on rates
Substrate is easy - - [S} in your law of mass action
Longish answer - Law of Mass action Km= [A][B] blah blah
and then quantity of catalyst - well when I was doing this if a large quantity was needed then it wasnt a catalyst by deffo
It might have changed
or the may need that the catalyst holds the substrate in the activate form for longer ( than without) - or something else
that's it! - cant get worked up about this one
