do it!!
let them see it!!
i am laso confused after reading manyimtes acid is H+ donor but here it does not follow it!!
i guess!!

Ok.....I just revised some organic chemistry...and adi is right...it's the acid that give OH and alcohol that gives H
http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/catalysis/esterify.html
It's pretty complicated actually.......I haven't really started with organic chem in A level.....so to explain would be a problem........the mechanism explained in the site is pretty good....check it out
And for now evn if you don't get it....jst remember OH is from acid And H from alcohol
