(a) Ester hydrolysis is slow in the begining and then becomes faster after some time because acid formed in the reaction releases H^+ lons which act as a catalyst and makes the reaction faster. These are known as autocatolysts.

(b) In a solution of methylene blue, animal charcoal is added, onshaking it, the solution turns colourless as the dye particles are absorbed on the surface of charcoal and gets accumulated.
