Question: Which of the following will not be soluble in sodium hydrogen carbonate?

A) 2, 4, 6 - Trinitrophenol

B) Benzoic acid

C) o-Nitrophenol

D) Benzenesulphonic acid

Answer: o-Nitrophenol

Solution:

Acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate as follows : $$ Acid +NaHCO₃ → Sodium salt of acid +CO₂↑ +H₂O $$

Among all the given options ortho-nitrophenol is weaker acid than $\mathrm{HCO}_3^-$ hence, it does not react with $\mathrm{NaHCO}_3$.
