Answer:Esterification is the process by which esters are formed when an alcohol reacts with an acid in presence of conc. Sulphuric acid. R'OH + RCOOH +RCOOR' + H2O CH3CH2OH + CH3COOH + CH3COOC2H5 + H20 Saponification reaction is when ester reacts with NaOH, to form sodium salt of acid and alcohol. RCOOR' + NaOH +RCOONa+R'OH CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH + CH3COONa+ C2H5OH Esters are used in making perfumes, artificial flavouring agents, ice-creams, cold drinks. Saponification process is used in making soaps.
