Question

$ \mathrm{RCOOH}+\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{RCOONa}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CO}_{2} $ The above reaction is showing the property of carboxylic acid., acidic, basic, oxidizing, reducing

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

RCOOH + NaHCO 3 → RCOONa + H 2 O + CO 2 In the reaction, it can be clearly seen that carboxylic group gives proton which indicates its acidic character and sodium bicarbonate is taking proton, so it is behaving as base.
