A simple ester can be separated by a process called hydrolysis. This involves breaking the ester bond by adding water and an acid or a base, which will split the ester into its original alcohol and acid components. The alcohol and acid products can then be further purified through techniques like distillation or crystallization.

What is the reaction of an ester and a base?

Acid has little or no effect except possible exchange of acid groupd between ester and the introduced acid - transesterification. Base - a salt of the acid part of the ester will form and the alcohol or some substituted form of it - that depends on the base used. There is no simple answer as the acids and bases that could be used are almost limitless.


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.
