1) Reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol to form a sweet smelling ester is called esterification.

CH3COOH + C2H5OH → CH3COOC2H5 + H20. (in presence of conc. H2SO4 as catalyst)

2) The alkaline hydrolysis of ester is called saponification. it is termed so because it is used in process of making soaps.

CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH → CH3COONa + C2H5OH

Hope this helps ✌
