carboxylic acid
ketone
aldehyde
ester
ether
alcohol
amine

Respuesta :

  functional  group is  a group  of  atoms   responsible  for  characteristic  reaction  of a  particular  compound.
Aspirin  molecule  has   the   following  functional  group
Carboxylic acid  functional  group(R-COOH)
ester  functional  group(R-O-CO-R)
in  addition aspirin  has  benzene  or  aromatic group functional  group

Acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin is a blood thinner and an anti-inflammatory drug used for headaches, inflammation, pain etc. It contains carboxylic acid and ester groups.

What are the ester and carboxylic groups?

The specific and the characteristic group of atoms bonded with the molecule that gives them a distinct property are called functional groups. Carboxylic acids, alcohols, esters, ethers etc. are some common functional groups.

Carboxylic groups [tex]\rm (COOH)[/tex] are the organic molecule compound that contains a carbonyl atom bonded to carbon and the OH functional group on either side.

Esters [tex]\rm (RCOOR')[/tex] are the carbonyl-containing molecules whose oxygen atom is bonded to the hydrocarbon chain and is inserted inside. The aspirin molecule also contains aromatic or the benzene group in its structure.

Therefore, option A. carboxylic acid and option D. ester are correct.
