उत्तर
Substances having ester as the functional group are formed by a reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. This reaction is known as esterification.
E.g. When ethanoic acid is heated with ethanol in a water bath in the presence of an acid catalyst (concentrated sulphuric acid), ethyl ethanoate and water are formed.

Esterification Reaction
Raina while doing certain reactions observed that heating of substance ‘X’ with a vinegar-like smell with a substance ‘Y’ (which is used as an industrial solvent.) in the presence of conc. Sulphuric acid in a water bath gives a sweet-smelling liquid ‘Z’ having molecular formula C4H8O2. When heated with caustic soda (NaOH), ‘Z’ gives back the sodium salt and the compound ‘Y’.
