hey..
An ester is made from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The carboxylic acid and alcohol are heated in the presence of a catalyst, usually concentrated sulphuric acid. This is a condensation reaction, where two molecules join together to form one larger molecule (the ester) and a small molecule, usually water.
