the first reaction is correct for saponification. sodium hydroxide is used as a catalyst.
Saponification: ester reacts in the presence of an acid or a base to give back the alcohol and the carboxylic acid. this reaction is known as saponification because it is used in the preparation of soap.
CH3COOC2H5 ➡️ CH3COOH + C2H5OH
