text: Hydrolysis involving organic compounds may be illustrated by the reaction of water with an ester of a carboxylic acid; all such esters have the general formula RCO―OR′, in which R and R′ are combining groups (for example, if R and R′ both represent the methyl group, CH 3 , the ester is methyl acetate).
