19.7—Amides can be prepared from acyl chlorides question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

This question is about the investigation of an organic compound X. X is a liquid at room temperature and pressure, which turns damp red litmus paper blue.

X reacted vigorously with ethanoyl chloride forming steamy fumes and a white solid Y.

Suggest the functional group present in Y.
