Which one of the following compounds will not be soluble in sodium bicarbonate?
- 2, 4, 6 - Trinitrophenol
- Benzoic acid
- O - Nitrophenol
- Benzene sulphonic acid
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding, O - Nitrophenol will not be soluble in sodium bicarbonate.
So, the correct option is (C): O - Nitrophenol.

Alcohols
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.
