Answer:

Explanation:

Formic acid readily liberates bubbles of carbon dioxide on adding sodium hydrogen carbonate : HCOOH + NaHCO3 = HCOONa + CO2 + H2O. All carboxylic acids liberate CO2 from NaHCO3, along with the formation of respective salt and water.

Reaction of carboxylic acid with sodium bicarbonate

Explanation:

  • Formic acid readily liberates bubbles of carbon dioxide on adding sodium hydrogen carbonate :

                   HCOOH + NaHCO_3 \rightarrow HCOONa + CO_2 + H_2O

  • All carboxylic acids liberate CO_2 from NaHCO_3, along with the formation of respective salt and water.
  • This reaction is very useful in identifying carboxylic acids in organic analysis, and to distinguish them from phenols. Though phenols are acidic, they do not liberate CO_2 when treated with NaHCO_3.
