HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
sulphuric acid (H2SO4). Sulphuric acidprovides H+ ions to facilitate thereaction. The reaction gives ethylethanoate as salt which is sweet smelling and water. This reaction is called Esterification because when organic alcohol reacts with organicacid it gives ester which has a sweet smelling characteristic.
