Interpretation:
Esterification is formation of ester from alcohol and a
Concept introduction:
• Basic hydrolysis of an ester gives a carboxylate salt and an alcohol.
• Acidic hydrolysis is simply the reverse of esterification, in which water breaks the ester bond to give carboxylic acid and alcohol.
• The ester is heated with a large excess of water containing a strong-acid catalyst. Like esterification, the reaction is reversible and does not go to completion.
• Molarity is number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 Litre of solution.

a. Condensed structural formula for ethyl octanoate.
b. Balanced chemical equation for the formation of ethyl octanoate.
c. Balanced chemical equation for the hydrolysis of ethyl octanoate with .
d. Balanced chemical equation for the hydrolysis of ethyl octanoate with .
e. Volume of 0.315 M solution in mL required to completely hydrolyse (saponify) 2.84 g of ethyl octanoate.
