Hydrolisis of ester produces the two products back as the reaction is reversible
ACID hydrolisis does it directly, but for base hydrolisis, we get a sodium salt which needs to be reacted with dilute HCl to give the acid back :)

Aise karo aaj rat kitab kholna... aur GHOR se parhana... :p

Ester + Water (in presence of NaOH) ==> Alcohol + Carboxylic acid
Carboxylic acid + NaOH ==> Na Salt which is called SOAP :p

Oh and there ain't no reversible reaction here :p
