    Which of the following will not be soluble in sodium hydrogen carbonate?     [AIPMT 2014]

    A) 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol       

    B) Benzoic acid

    C) o-nitrophenol     

    D) Benzenesulphonic acid

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]
    While 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol, benzoic acid and benzene sulphonic acid are soluble in \[NaHC{{O}_{3}}\].
    This reaction is possible in forward direction if acid is more acidic than\[{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]. O-nitrophenol is less acidic than\[{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]. Hence, it is not soluble in sodium hydrogen carbonate.
