What is Saponifacation and esterification
Answers
Explanation:
saponification means process of preperation of soap and esterification means process of preperation esters. ... saponification involves reaction between carboxylic acid and a base whereas esterification involves reaction between alcohol and carboxylic acid....

✔️✔️Esterification is when an acid and an alcohol react to give an ester and water.
⭕️Esterification reaction is defined as the reaction between alcohol and acetic acid to form a sweet smelling substance used in "flavor" called Ester.
➖CH3CH2OH + CH3COOH ---› CH3COOCH2CH3* + H2O
*CH3COOCH2CH3 is ethoxy ethane
⭕️Esterification is the chemical reaction in which we obtain ethyl ethanoate and water by reacting ehanol and ethanoic acid.
✔️✔️Saponification is the reverse of this. That is, the hydrolysis of ester to give acid and alcohol.
⭕️Saponification reaction is defined as the constituents used in making the "ester" can be regained in their original form.
⭕️It is used in the preparation of soaps.
⭕️Saponification is the reverse of esterification.
⭕️ In this reaction sodium hyroxide is reacted with ethyl ethanoate to obtain soap and ethanol.
➖️CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O ----› CH3CH2OH + CH3COOH
✔️✔️Kindly note the differences too!
✔️✔️✔️Difference :-
⭕➖️Saponification means process of preparation of soap.
➖Esterification means process of preparation esters.
⭕️➖Saponification involves reaction between carboxylic acid and a base.
➖Esterification involves reaction between alcohol and carboxylic acid.
⭕➖️Esterification needs as a catalyst ➖Saponification do not need.
