The general name for a substance added to a reaction that affects the rate but is not consumed in the reaction is called complex constituent reactant catalyst

Catalyst

Explanation:

Hello, the person who answered above is false.  An activation complex is entirely different than a catalyst.

The definition of a catalyst is a substance implemented into a reaction that affects the rate, but does not find itself consumed.

Hope this helps.

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
