Hydrolysis of ester ethyl ethanoate gives what?
What conditions can produce hydrolysis of an ester?
Either an acidic of basic condition can produce hydrolysis of an ester. An ester is derived from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Test for ester?
Acid hydrolysis using sulphuric acid and water (equilibrium reaction). The ester splits into a carboxylic acid and alcohol, protons donated from the acid. The solution can then be distilled and the remaining acid can be checked using UV indicator. Acid hydrolysis using sulphuric acid and water (equilibrium reaction).

What breaks ester linkage during hydrolysis of a triglyceride?
Water is the agent breaking the ester linkage.
What type of reaction has takin place when an ester is broken down to an alkanoic acid and alkanol?
The parent carboxylic acid and the parent alcohol can be obtained by hydrolysis of an ester. Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a molecule is split up by the chemical action of water. The breakdown of an ester is an example of hydrolysis because water is used to separate the ester into alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
How can you obtained an acidic part of an ester?
The acid can be separated from an ester by making it to undergo hydrolysis under acidic conditions.
When breaking down a monoglyceride what reaction is that?
A monoglyceride is made up of glycerol and one long chain fatty acid, connected to the glycerol by an ester bond. If you break this down to the free fatty acid and glycerol, the process or reaction is known as hydrolysis, or ester hydrolysis.
Draw the Carboxylic acid produced from the acid hydrolysis of butyl acetate?
It is the butyl ester of acetic acid so on hydrolysis it produces Acetic acid , CH3-COOH
