Esters are formed by the reaction of alcohol and carboxylic acid in the presence of a sulphuric acid as a catalyst. The reaction is known as esterification.

∙ 15y agoEsters are composed of one carboylic acid and one alkohol.
R1-COOH + HO-R2 => R1-CO-O-R2 +H20
Ester hydrolysis can separate the two again.

∙ 14y agoAn ester linkage is a covalent bond formed by a condensation reaction between a -COOH group and an -OH group. They join fatty acids to glycerol and become a fat or phospholipid.

∙ 14y agoIt is the O atom of the alcohol which bounds with the C atom of the carboxyl (or acidic) group from the carboxylic acid. The mechanism is catalysed by H+ ions

How does the hydrolysis of esters lead to the formation of soap?
Soap is formed by the hydrolysis of fats by lye, not the hydrolysis of esters. The lye strips the 3 fatty acids from the glycerine in the fats and reacts with the free fatty acids producing soap, this process is called saponification.
