    I assume you have some references to the cleavage of esters / fats / oils - hence the question. You get the same sort of products from either acid or base catalysed hydrolysis. With acid hydrolysis your answers are simpler because the catalyst is just that - not a reagent too as in saponification.
    Try the problem and let us help you if and where you need it.
