(b)
Interpretation:
The given reaction is to be completed.
Concept introduction:
The reaction of an ester with water is called ester hydrolysis. In ester hydrolysis, the ester bond breaks and results into two products: the carboxylic acid and an alcohol. A strong acid is usually used in ester hydrolysis, which is denoted by
