Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Carboxylic acids react with NaHCO3} to liberate carbon dioxide gas:
Ar–COOH + NaHCO3} → Ar–COONa + H2}O + CO2}↑
Effervescence of CO2} is a test for carboxylic acids.
Ar–COOH + NaHCO3} → Ar–COONa + H2}O + CO2}↑
Effervescence of CO2} is a test for carboxylic acids.
