Question

what is the differences between estenfication and saponification reaction give equation to explain

Answer 1

The reaction in which a carboxylic acid combines with an alcohol to form an ester is called esterification.
2. Esters are formed.
Saponification : 
1. The alkaline hydrolysis of esters is known as saponification.
2. Soap is formed.

Answer 2

in esterification organic acid and alcohol react in the presence of acid catalyst ......in saponifiaction reaction ester reacts in the presence of acid or base catalyst to giva back alcohol and acid....
eg of esterification:- ch3cooh + c2h5oh=ch3cooh + h2o
eg of saponofication reaction:- ch3cooh = ch3cooh + c2h5oh
they are just opposite of each other...
hope this would be helpful friend
