Detection of Carboxylic Group

Sr. No	Experiment	Observation	Inference
1.	Litmus Test: ­Add 1 drop of given organic compound on blue litmus paper.	Blue litmus change into red by Both A & B.	Carboxylic acid [-COOH] group may be present.
	R – C – OH + H2O   à   R – C – O - + H3O+
2.	NaHCo3 Test: To aqua solution of compound dil. NaHCo3 was added.	Brisk efferrensace of a colorless gas evolved in compound B which turned lime water milky.	Carboxylic acid [-COOH] group confirmed
	RCOOH + NaHCo3   à    RCOONa + Co2↑ + H2O
3.	Ester formation test: To 1 ml of organic compound ethanol was added & 2 drops of conc. H2So4 mixture was warmed in water bath for 10 – 15 minutes cooled & pour the content to aqua solution Na2Co3 in beaks smell it	Pleasant fruity smell was detected due to presence of the ester in the compound	Carboxylic acid [-COOH] group confirmed
	RCOOH + C2HSoH   à   RCOOC2 H5 + H2O

Conclusion:-

On the basics of above test we conclude that compound contains Carboxylic group.
