    The document describes an experiment to identify the functional group in an unknown organic compound. The experiment involves performing litmus and sodium bicarbonate tests on the compound. The litmus test showed the compound turned blue litmus paper red, indicating the potential presence of a carboxylic acid group. This was confirmed when the compound reacted with sodium bicarbonate solution, producing brisk effervescence of carbon dioxide gas. The result is that the organic compound contains a carboxylic acid functional group.
