Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Esterification reaction is opposite/reverse of saponification reaction. In esterification, a carboxylic acid and an alcohol react to form ester in presence of acid. Whereas, in saponification reaction an ester reacts with a strong base or an acid to give alcohol and carboxylic acid.

yes , saponification and esterification are reverse reactions of each other

Esterification reaction is opposite/reverse of saponification reaction. In esterification, a carboxylic acid and an alcohol react to form ester in presence of acid. Whereas, in saponification reaction an ester reacts with a strong base or an acid to give alcohol and carboxylic acid.

Acidic hydrolysis is simply the reverse of esterification. The ester is heated with a large excess of water containing a strong-acid catalyst. Like esterification, the reaction is reversible and does not go to completion.
