Which of the following will not be soluble in sodium hydrogen carbonate?
- 2,4,6-trinitrophenol
- Benzoic acid
- o-nitrophenol
- Benzenesulphonic acid
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
benzene sulphonic acid are soluble in $NaHCO_3.$
Infact,
$\, \, \, \, \, Acid+NaHCO_3 \longrightarrow Salt+H_2 CO_3$
This reaction is possible in forward direction if acid
is more acidic than $H_2 CO_3$ o-nitrophenol is less
acidic than $H_2 CO_3.$ Hence, it is not soluble in
sodium hydrogen carbonate.
Top Questions on Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers
Compounds A and B, having the same molecular formula \( C_4H_8O \), react separately with \( CH_3MgBr \), followed by reaction with dil. HCl to form compounds X and Y respectively. Compound Y undergoes acidic dehydration in the presence of Conc. \( H_2SO_4 \) much more readily than X. Compound Y also reacts with Lucas reagent, much more readily than X, with the appearance of turbidity. Identify X and Y.

What is Alcohol?
Alcohol is a derivative of water (H2O) that has one, two, or more hydroxyl groups that are attached to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbon chain (an alkyl group). It is one of the most common organic compounds used in sweeteners, fragrances, and medicine.

Uses of Alcohol:
- Ethanol is the alcohol used in alcoholic drinks. It can be used as an industrial methylated spirit where methanol is used very little in quantity as it can be dangerous.
- It is used as fuel to produce carbon dioxide and water by the process of fermentation. Whereas methanol burns carbon dioxide and water to facilitate combustion.
- Alcohol is an organic compound used as a solvent that is insoluble in water.
- It can be used to lower the level of sugar.
- Alcohol is used as a preservative in laboratories.
