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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the hydrolysis reaction of ester

Ester hydrolysis is a reaction where an ester molecule (\(R - COO - R'\)) reacts with water (\(H_2O\)). The ester bond (\(-COO-\)) is broken apart.

Step2: Analyze the products of ester hydrolysis

The general reaction for ester hydrolysis is \(R - COO - R'+H_2O
ightarrow R - COOH+R' - OH\). So, an ester breaks apart and combines with water to form a carboxylic acid (\(R - COOH\)) and an alcohol (\(R' - OH\)).

Answer:

i. break apart; ii. combine water and alcohol. So the answer is row C.
