All short answer questions must be written in sentences that are grammatically correct. 13. In the reaction that you performed, you treated methyl benzoate with sodium hydroxide. Initially, the methyl benzoate is not soluble in the aqueous \( \mathrm{NaOH} \) solution. When the reaction is complete, the product of the reaction is soluble in aqueous \( \mathrm{NaOH} \). Draw a Lewis structure of the product of this reaction that is soluble in water. Remember, in a Lewis structure, you have to show ALL of the atoms (carbons, hydrogens, etc.) and all lone pairs of electrons. Do NOT draw a skeletal diagram.
14. Explain why the product that you drew in question 13 is soluble in water. Do not just give me a general answer; I want a very specific answer that discusses why certain compounds are soluble in water. The answer must be written in three sentences or less.
