Cacodyl oxide test . Treat both with As2O3 . Acetic acid will react to it to form cacodyl oxide , which is an obnoxious smelling compound . Formic acid will not react . The reaction is to be carried out first by treating with NaOH to form the respective sodium (acetate / formate) and then As2O3 should be treated with each of these .
