Concept Introduction:
Functional groups are the groups of atoms or atoms which are bonded with the parent carbon chain in the organic molecule and are responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the compound. In organic chemistry, there are different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, alcohol, ester or amide.
Alcohols are the organic compounds with the general chemical formula of R-OH whereas carboxylic acids are the organic molecules with R-COOH as a general chemical formula.
(c)

The products formed when the given ester is treated with H2O and
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with the preparation, reactions, and properties of organic compounds. The molecular formula of an organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols.
