The reaction involves a Grignard reagent (RMgBr) reacting with CO₂, followed by acid hydrolysis. This is a standard method to prepare carboxylic acids. The Grignard reagent acts as a nucleophile, attacking the electrophilic carbon of CO₂. After nucleophilic addition, acid workup protonates the resulting carboxylate anion to give the carboxylic acid. The general reaction is:

R-MgBr+CO2RCOO-MgBr+H3O+RCOOH

Therefore, the final product is a carboxylic acid with one more carbon atom than the original alkyl/aryl group (R) of the Grignard reagent.

Final Answer: Carboxylic Acid
