Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Part a)     

 

Part b)

 

Part c)

  

step-1 introduction (Part a)

•  Carboxylic acids are weak acids that in water produce hydronium ions and neutralize bases. 
• In carboxylic acids, the carbon atom of an al carboxyl group is connected to a hydroxyl group, generating a carboxyl group. 
• The carboxyl functional group can be linked to an alkyl group or an aromatic group.

step-2 given information (part-a)

In this reaction, 2-methylethyl propanoate is hydrolyzed by acid, yielding propanoic acid.

step-3 Explanation (part-a)

step- 4 given information (part-b)

Propyl 2-methyl propanoate undergoes acid hydrolysis in this process, yielding 2-methyl propanoic acid.

step-5 Explanation (part-b)

step-6 given information (part-c)

 The N-propyl benzamide base is hydrolyzed with NaOH to produce sodium benzoate.
