Saponification
Saponification is the hydrolysis of an ester under basic conditions to form an alcohol and the salt of the acid.

Well....it fits into 2 types:
De-esterification (the ester methyl ethanoate ends up as methanol and ethanoic acid)
OR
Hydrolysis, which is the mechanism of de-esterification.

Double replacement because there are two elements being switched (or replaced) in the reaction.

Hydrolysis
acid + base --> salt + water

The sodium hydroxide is going to hydrolyze the methyl acetate into sodium acetate and methyl alcohol. It is the opposite of esterification.

It is the opposite of de-esterfication of course. Is the former reaction reversible? I have to refer my Chemistry book. If so under what conditions and medium.
