Only carboxylic acids and their derivatives like anhydride are capable to give effervescence with aqueous $NaHCO_{3}$ solution, because they are more acidic as compared to $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$ (carbonic acidi-
$\mathrm{IICH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$
$$
\longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}
$$
$1\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CO}\right)_{2} \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$
$$
\longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}
