Difference between estrification and sponification

1.	Difference between estrification and sponification
Answer» ESTERIFICATION- (1)The reaction of carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of conc. H²SO⁴ to form a fruity smell in compound is called esterification. (2)CH³COOH + C²H5OH--------H²SO⁴-------> CH³COOHC²H5 + H²OSAPONIFICATION-(1)The reaction of an ester with an acid or base like NaOH to give back the alcohol and carboxylic acid from which it has been formed is called saponification. (2) - CH³COOC²H5 -------NaOH------->CH³COONa + C²H5OH - CH³COONa ------acid hydrolisis----->CH³COOH The process of making soapby the hydrolysis of fats and oils with alkalies is called saponification When ethanoic acid react with ethanol is called estrification When an alcohol is reacted with an acid in the presenceof few drops of concentrated sulohuric acid...an ester is formed which has a sweet smell.....this reaction is called esterfication Alkaline hydrolysis of ester is caed saponificationIn esterification ester is formed whereas in saponification there is a alakaline hydrolysis of ester
