- A
H3C-COO-C2H5
- B
H3C2-COO-CH3
- C
H3C2-CO-OH
- D
H3C2-COO-C2H5
A is incorrect as the compound given is an ester which does not produce carbon dioxide upon reaction with sodium carbonate.
B is incorrect as it is also an ester,hence it also doesnt produce carbon dioxide upon reaction with sodium carbonate.
C is correct as the compound given is a carboxylic acid,it produces carbon dioxide upon reaction with sodium carbonate.
D is incorrect as the given compound is unreactive with sodium carbonate.
