Effect of base concentration on hydrolysis of methyl benzoate

Hydrolysis is a process involving the breakdown of complex molecules. Benzoic acid was produced via hydrolysis of methyl benzoate. Previous studies have shown that when the concentration of base increased, the percentage yield of product is also increased. Some of the studies reported that the yiel...
