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

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Acid hydrolysis of an ester gives two different organic compounds.
$CH_3COOC_2H_5+H_2O\rightarrow CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH$
While the acid hydrolysis of an amide gives one organic and one inorganic product as
$CH_3CONH_2+H_2O\rightarrow CH_3COOH+NH_3$
