Benzoic acid and n-octyl alcohol in presence of sulphuric acid on heating form octyl benzoate and water.
n-octyl alochol and benzoic acid
octyl alcohol and formic acid
It forms Octyl Acetate.
Benzoic acid esterified with the alcohol isobutanol gives isobutyl benzoate.

No. Bensene and Benzoate are not the same. Benzene has the formula C6H6 (a ring of 6 carbons, each with a hydrogen bonded to it), and benzoate has the formula C6H5COO−. Benzoate is a benzene molecule that has a carboxylic acid group attached to it (except that the acid group is deprotonated). Benzoate is the conjugate base of benzoic acid. See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more information.
Hydrolysis - the ester would be hydrolyzed to its component acid and alcohol (benzoic acid and ethanol, respectively).
BENZOATE
Pentyl Ethanoate The structural formula looks like this: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-O-C(=O)* -CH3 *The double bonded O goes on top of the C and the last CH3 is attached to the C, not the double bonded O.
Acetic acid and ethanol alcohol will form ethyl acetate.
Octyl Acetate
It is added to protonate the sodium benzoate.
