    This document discusses the formation and hydrolysis of esters. Esters are formed from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol through a condensation reaction. Hydrolysis is the reverse reaction, where an ester reacts with water to reform the original carboxylic acid and alcohol. There are two types of hydrolysis - normal hydrolysis uses water and forms an acid and alcohol, while saponification uses an alkali and forms a carboxylate salt and alcohol instead of an acid.
