Question

Equation of esterification and saponification

Answer 1

alcohol + acid--->ester
eg:
ethanol+ethanoic acid inprsence of conc H2SO4 ---->ethylethanoate

ester--->sodium salt of  carboxylic acid
eg:
  ethylethanoate with NaOH gives CH3COONa and glycerol

Answer 2

Esterification reaction -

CH3COOH + C2H5OH in the presence of an acid catalyst ------->CH3COOC2H5(Ester)

Saponification reaction -

CH3COOC2H5 in the presence of NaOH
------->C2H5OH +CH3COONa(sodium ethanoate)
