Hi,The By-products are alcohol (C H3CH2OH)and sodium salt of carboxylic acid called sodium ethanoate or commonly called sodium acetate (CH3COONa)To separate this by-product, Esther is reacted with sodium hydroxide.ie, CH3COOC2H5  + NaOH -----> C2H5OH + CH3COONa
        (ester)                                       (alcohol)    (sodium acetate)
