Which of the following will not be soluble in sodium hydrogen carbonate?
To determine which compound is not soluble in sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO), we need to consider the acidity of each compound.Sodium hydrogen carbonate is a weak base, and it will react with acids that are stronger than itself.The reaction is typically:AcidNaHCOSaltCOHOLet's analyze each option:⢠Option 1: 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol (Picric acid)This is a very strong acid due to the presence of electron-withdrawing nitro groups.It will react with NaHCO and is soluble.⢠Option 2: Benzoic acidBenzoic acid is a moderately strong acid and will react with NaHCO to form sodium benzoate,which is soluble.⢠Option 3: o-Nitrophenolo-Nitrophenol is a weak acid. The presence of a single nitro group does not make it acidic enoughto react with NaHCO. Therefore, it will not be soluble.⢠Option 4: Benzenesulphonic acidThis is a strong acid due to the presence of the sulfonic group, which is highly electron-withdrawing.It will react with NaHCO and is soluble.Therefore, the compound that will not be soluble in sodium hydrogen carbonate is o-nitrophenol.This corresponds to Option 3.
