Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The products which are formed when following ester is hydrolyzed with water and H2SO4:
Concept introduction:
Hydrolysis of an ester in an acidic medium releases
(b)
Interpretation:
The products which are formed when the following ester is hydrolyzed with water and H2SO4:
Concept introduction:
Hydrolysis of an ester in an acidic medium releases carboxylic acid and alcohol, whereas hydrolysis of an ester in a basic medium releases carboxylate salt and alcohol. Fisher esterification is the method of ester formation in the presence of acid. Here, all steps are reversible. Therefore, ester hydrolysis in acidic medium is the reversible reaction of Fisher esterification.
(c)
Interpretation:
The products which are formed when following ester is hydrolyzed with water and H2SO4:
Concept introduction:
Hydrolysis of an ester in an acidic medium releases carboxylic acid and alcohol, whereas hydrolysis of an ester in a basic medium releases carboxylate salt and alcohol. Fisher esterification is the method of ester formation in the presence of acid. Here, all steps are reversible. Therefore, ester hydrolysis in acidic medium is the reversible reaction of Fisher esterification.
