**Transcription and Explanation****Text Transcription:**"In 20 words or less, please explain why the reaction conditions shown below are not ideal for saponification reactions and propose a solution to the problem."**Chemical Reaction Diagram:**1. **Reactants:** - The first compound on the left is an ester represented as a structural formula with a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to an alkoxy group (-O-C). - The specific compound shown is ethyl propanoate.2. **Reaction Conditions:** - The reaction occurs in the presence of a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) catalyst, water (H2O), and heat.3. **Products:** - The reaction produces a carboxylate ion, specifically sodium propanoate, and an alcohol, in this case, ethanol.**Explanation:**The reaction conditions are not ideal for saponification because a catalytic amount of NaOH is used instead of a stoichiometric amount, leading to incomplete saponification. A possible solution is to increase the concentration of NaOH to ensure complete conversion of the ester to the carboxylate salt and alcohol.

Hello! Would you please help me work through this question? Attached below is a screenshot. Thank you!
Sodium hydrogen carbonate NaHCO3 , also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid HCl , which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO3 neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl (aq) + NaHCO3 (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)The CO2 gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a woman suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 150.mL of a 0.053 M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO3 would she need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
