Question

An organic compound X showing the following solubility profile is:

विकल्प

• o - Toluidine

• Oleic acid

• m - Cresol

• Benzamide

Answer 1

m - Cresol

Explanation:

m-cresol on reaction with 10%. NaOH gives 3-methyl sodium phenoxide. It is very weak acidic in nature i.e. way insoluble in 5% HCl or water and unable to give effervescence with 10%. NaHCO₃. Salt is not formed with 10% NaHCO₃.
