question 15 (1 point)
a hydrolysis reaction can _i an ester, and the result is a carboxylic acid and_ii___. the statement given above is completed by the information in row
row i ii
a break apart alcohol
b break apart water
c combine an alcohol and water
d combine water and alcohol
e remove water

Explanation:

Ester hydrolysis is a reaction where an ester molecule is broken apart. In the hydrolysis of an ester (\(R - COO - R'\)), water (\(H_2O\)) is involved in the reaction. The general reaction is \(R - COO - R'+H_2O
ightarrow R - COOH+R' - OH\). So, hydrolysis breaks apart the ester, and the products are a carboxylic acid (\(R - COOH\)) and an alcohol (\(R' - OH\)).

Answer:

A. break apart, alcohol
