Answer 1

Answer:-

As we know that ester (RCOOR') is reacts with dilute NaOH to produce sodium salt of acid and alcohol. It is generally hydrolysis reaction which is irreversible in nature i.e unidirectional. Also we know that hydrolysis of ester (RCOOR')  in presence of acid is generally reversible in nature but hydrolysis of ester (RCOOR') in presence of base such as NaOH , the reaction proceeds in one direction and separation of products would be easier as compared to the hydrolysis of ester (RCOOR')  in presence of acid.

(CH₃)₂CH-CO-O-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃ + NaOH $\overset{heat}{\rightarrow}$ (CH₃)₂CH-CO-O^-Na⁺ + CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH
