Answer #1

Carboxylic acid with alcohol in presence of heat gives Ester. This is a reversible reaction therefore it gives less amount of yield..

So to increase the yield we need to increase the forward rate of the reaction. In this reaction H2O form a side product, therefore we use H2SO4 as acid because it is also a dehydrating agent. It absorbs the H2O formed and the forward rate of the reaction increased and the product formed.
