Exercise 6 Consider the hydrolysis of esters reactions. Methyl acetate reacts with water (in a neutral solution reaction), or with a base, e.g. hydroxide ion (basic solution reaction), to produce acetic acid/acetate ion and methanol. HC3COOCH3+H2OCH3COOH+CH3OHHC3COOCH3+OHCH3COO+CH3OHneutralsolutionbasicsolution Predict the Gibbs free energy of both reactions in the gas phase and in solution. Use an appropriate level of theory and solvation model. Exercise 6 Consider the hydrolysis of esters reactions.
