a)

b)

c)

Short answer

Part a)

Part b)

Part c)

Step-by-step solution

step-1  introduction (Part a)

• Carboxylic acids are weak acids that in water produce hydronium ions and neutralize bases.
• In carboxylic acids, the carbon atom of an al carboxyl group is connected to a hydroxyl group, generating a carboxyl group.
• The carboxyl functional group can be linked to an alkyl group or an aromatic group.

step-2 given information (part-a)

In this reaction, 2-methylethyl propanoate is hydrolyzed by acid, yielding propanoic acid.

step-3  Explanation (part-a)

step- 4  given information (part-b)

Propyl 2-methyl propanoate undergoes acid hydrolysis in this process, yielding 2-methyl propanoic acid.

step-5 Explanation (part-b)

step-6  given information (part-c)

The N-propyl benzamide base is hydrolyzed with NaOH to produce sodium benzoate.

step-7 Explanation (part-c)
