A) Acetic acid
B) n-hexanol
C) Phenol
D) Both (b) and (c)
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Only acetic acid reacts with \[NaHC{{O}_{3}}\] to give sodium salt and \[C{{O}_{2}},\] because \[NaHC{{O}_{3}}\] is a base and it reacts with acid only. This is one of the distinguishing test of carboxylic acids. \[R-COOH+NaHC{{O}_{3}}\to R-COONa+C{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]You need to login to perform this action.
