Difference between saponification and esterification?

Hint: Esters are the organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in their structures. Esterification is a process used to prepare esters and saponification is the reverse process of esterification nothing but fragmentation of esters.

Complete step-by-step answer:- In the question it is asked to write the differences between saponification and esterification.


Additional Information:
Esterification:
The chemical reaction of the esterification reaction is as follows.
\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH+C{{H}_{3}}COOH\xrightarrow{Conc.{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]
Saponification:
The chemical reaction of esterification reaction is as follows.\[C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}+NaOH\to {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH+C{{H}_{3}}COONa\]

Note: Esterification is also called the condensation reaction of alcohols and carboxylic acids. Saponification is also called as decomposition reaction of esters to sodium salts of fatty acids by using an alkali solution.
