Originally Answered: What function group is formed when saponification product (fatty acid salt) is treated with HCl?
When the fatty acid salt is treated with HCl the resulting product is the fatty acid or simply the carboxylic acid.
Thus the functional group is carboxylic acid or COOH.
FOR EXAMPLE:
SAPONIFICATION:
CH3COOCH3CH2 + NaOH ---> CH3COONa + CH3CH2OH
When the salt is treated with HCl:
CH3COONa + HCl ---> CH3COOH + NaCl
Clearly the carboxylic acid is obtained
Thats it! Hope it helps!
