(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name for the products has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrolysis of Ester:
The reaction in which a bond is broken by the addition of water molecule is called as hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis of esters yields the
The general reaction of ester hydrolysis is shown below,
In case of base-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester, the carboxylic acid does not exist. The reaction results in the formation of salt of carboxylic acid containing the cation of the base catalyst.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given reaction has to be completed by drawing its product structure.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrolysis of Ester:
The reaction in which a bond is broken by the addition of water molecule is called as hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis of esters yields the carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The heat is required to initiate the reaction and a small amount of acid

- Show the mechanism steps to obtain the lowerenergy intermediate: *see imagearrow_forwardSoap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
- The two pKa values of oxalic acid are 1.25 and 3.81. Why are they not the same value? Show the protontransfer as part of your explanation. *see imagearrow_forwardасть Identify all the bonds that gauche interact with C-OMe in the most stable conformation of the above compound.arrow_forwardPredict the reactants used in the formation of the following compounds using Acid-Catalyzed dehydration reactionarrow_forward
