Because it is HYDROlysis - the clue is in the title (hydro - water)

Water is used in methyl ethanoate hydrolysis to break down the ester into its original components - methanol and acetic acid. This is achieved through a chemical reaction called hydrolysis, where water acts as a catalyst. By bringing water in contact with methyl ethanoate and providing the necessary conditions, the ester can be broken down and the desired products can be obtained.

What chemicals are in water transfer activator?
Yes, but it's only one of the components. One MSDS listed a wide variety of solvents and ketones:Xylene = Dimethylbenzene 42%Methyl = methyl acetate = acetic acid methyl ester = methyl ethanoate 28%Butyl = butyl acetate or butyl ethanoate 17%B-butanone = methyl isobutyl ketone 8%Isobutanol = isobutyl alcohol = methyl propanol = isopropylcarbinol 5%Another company uses a different set:Xylene 52.94%Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) 25.88%Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) 11.18%Isophorone 5%Cyclohexanone 5%The exact mix varies from company to company, which is good because many of these chemicals are difficult to obtain. Nearly any cleanly evaporating paint thinner, thinned with a solvent like xylene, can be made to work.
Why initial products of the saponification of methyl benzoate soluble in water?
Saponification is a term used where soaps are formed as from fats and oils (triglycerides), methyl benzoate is a simple ester so here we may use the term hydrolysis, the reaction is performed in presence of NaOH so initial products are in ionic or salt form, sodium benzoate and sodium methoxide so are soluble in water.
What reaction is used to break down polymers. is water added or removed. how does this compare to dehydration synthesis?
A hydrolysis reaction. Water is added. Dehydration synthesis is when two water molecules join together. Hydrolysis is the separation of two water molecules.
Which term identifies a reaction breaks apart macromolecules?
The term that identifies a reaction that breaks apart macromolecules is "hydrolysis." In hydrolysis, water molecules are used to break the bonds holding macromolecules together, resulting in the formation of smaller molecules or monomers.
What word is used to describe the process that uses water to break apart a large molecule?
Dynthes
Why do you titrate a sample mixture of hydrochloric acid and methyl ethanoate with sodium hydroxide?
An acid base titration is only complete at the equivalence point, this occurs when the number of equivalence of base added is exactly equal to the number of equivalence of acid present.in this case HCL()acid +NAOH (base). being both colorless solutions the equivalents point is not visually determined therefore an indicator such as phenolphthalein is generally used. As regards the methyl ethanoate it produces a mixture of methanol and sodium ethanoate.

What is the process that uses water to break down a polymer called?
the process that is used to break down water is by passing a electrical current through it ,it is called electrolysis.
Reaction between methyl salicylate and sodium hydroxide?
Product depends on reaction conditions and quantity of sodium hydroxide used in the reaction. Initially sticky product [sodium salt of methyl salicylate] will form that on heating will effect saponification [hydrolysis of ester] resulting in sodium salicyale.

What is methyl acetate used for?
Methyl acetate is occasionally used as a solvent
Besides water what other solvent can be used to separate screened methyl orange?
shernice
What is the breakdown of large molecules by the enzymatic addition of water?
Hydrolysis is the process by which large polymers are reduces through the enzymatic addition of water. The opposite process, the creation of polymers through the enzymatic removal of water is know as dehydration (As one H and an OH are split out and form water).
When a sucrose molecule is decomposed to yield a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule?
First of all, the method of which you are talking about, does deal with composing, but is really just the splitting of a bond. Simply, the molecules are being separated. This method is called Hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which a compound reacts with water to produce other compounds. In Hydrolysis, a water molecule is necessary. Without it, hydrolysis can not occur. However, the water molecule is split into a hydrogen cation and hydroxide anion when performing hydrolysis.
What fuel comes from water?
Water can be broken down by hydrolysis into hydrogen and oxygen. Together they can be used as rocket propulsion fuels.
