Answer:
Hexanoic acid is formed as insoluble product
Explanation:
- In aqueous sodium hydroxide, methyl ester of hexanoic acid hydrolyzes to produce soluble sodium hexanoate salt.
- Upon addition of aqueous HCl, hexanoate ion is protonated to produce hexanoic acid which is insoluble in water.
- Hence, upon acidification of hydrolysis solution, two separate layers (organic and aqueous) are formed.
- Reaction are shown below.

It can be chemical but it's usually physical as the molecular structure doesn't change
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of calcium fluoride follows:

s 2s
The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:
![K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Bsp%7D%3D%5BCa%5E%7B2%2B%7D%5D%5BF%5E-%5D%5E2)
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

To calculate the solubility in g/L, we will multiply the calculated solubility with the molar mass of calcium fluoride:
Molar mass of calcium fluoride = 78 g/mol
Multiplying the solubility product, we get:

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.
