The concentrated sulphuric acid presence shows that it may be using as a catalyst to produce the ester, (ethyl ethanoate). So in the result reaction is slow and reversible. To reduce the chances of the reverse reaction happening, the ester is distilled off and it formed.
Further the example will explain you better:
CH3COOH +CH3CH2OH_conc h2so4______> CH3COOCH2CH3+H2O i hope you will understand from this equatn
