Hydrolysis of Esters | Acid and Base (Saponification) Hydrolysis Explained

In this video we will go through the process of Hydrolysis, meaning "to cut" with water of an ester. I will show both the Acid Catalyzed version, which leads to an ester turning into a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. As well as Saponification, which is catalyzed by a base creating a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. 0:00 Hydrolysis "to cut with water" 01:41 1st Type Acid Hydrolysis 04:10 Two examples of Acid Hydrolysis 07:10 2nd Type Base Hydrolysis (Saponification) 8:40 Look at it like "trading positives" 12:01 1st Example of Saponification 14:51 2nd Example of Saponification 16:28 Summary of Ideas #chemistry #collegechemistry #introduction #introductorychemistry #oraganicchemistry #introductoryorganic #GOB #generalchemistry #help #chemistryclasses #itsdrdan #fcc #fresnocitycollege #fresnochemistry #CHEM3B #chemistrynotes #passchemistry #apchemistry #ibchemistry #fresnostate #reedley #madera #clovis
