Acid hydrolysis of which of the following compounds yields two different organic compounds?

Options

A. `CH_(3)COOH`
B. `CH_(3)CONH_(2)`
C. `CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)`
D. `(CH_(3)CO)_(2)O`

Answer

C

Explanation

Acid hydrolysis of an ester gives two different organic compounds.
`CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)+ H_(2)O to underset("Organic compound")(CH_(3)COOH)+ underset("Organic compound")(C_(2)H_(5)OH)`
While the acid hydrolysis of an amide gives one organic and one inorganic product as
`CH_(3)CONH_(2)+ H_(2)O to H_(2)O to underset("organic compound")(CH_(3)COOH) + underset("inorganic compound")(NH_(3))`
