    An ester, propyl methanoate (HCOOC₃H₇) when reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) forms sodium methanoate (HCOONa) as the main product and propanol (C₃H₇OH).

    The reaction is as follows:

    HCOOC₃H₇+NaOH ⇒HCOONa + C₃H₇OH

    So when propyl methanoate is hydrolyzed in water and in NaOH then sodium methanoate (HCOONa) as the main product and propanol (C₃H₇OH) forms
