Answer

The desired product should contain acidic group like -COOH group.

Explanation:

Saturated sodium bicarbonate solution will react with a acid compound which contain in reaction mixture and produce CO2 gas.

We have the reaction has;

NaHCO3 (aq) + R-COOH (aq) ..............> R-COONa (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

Therefore.

The desired product will contain acidic group like -COOH (carboxylic acid group).
