An organic compound ‘ X ’ showing the following solubility profile is:

An organic compound $\mathrm{‘}\mathrm{X}\mathrm{’}$ showing the following solubility profile is:

1. m-Cresol
2. o-Toluidine
3. Oleic acid
4. Benzamide

Solution

Meta-cresol

the group should be base sensitivity means it should have acidic hydrogen because it is soluble in $10\mathrm{\%}\mathrm{ }\mathrm{N}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{H}$ and it should be less acidic than ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}}_3$ because it is insoluble in $\mathrm{N}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}}_3.$
