The complete equation is as follows:
                                        CH3CH2OH + CH3COOHH2SO4CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O

When ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) react with each other in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid (H2SO4), elimination of 1 mole of water (H2O) takes place, and ester (CH3COOCH2CH3) is formed. 

On smelling it just after the mixing in the test tube, you will sense a fruity smell coming out of it.
