Solution
The correct option is A Feasibility of Reaction :
Strong acid displaces weak acid from the salt of weak acid.
Similarly, strong base can displace weak base from the salt of weak base.
Order of acidic strength : Ph−SO3H>Ph−COOH>H2CO3>Ph−OH
Since phenol is less acidic than H2CO3, so it will not produce CO2 with NaHCO3.
In case of (b) , −NO2 group at ortho and para decrease the electron density due to electron withdrawing effect, making it more acidic than phenol.
Reaction of benzoic acid(stronger acid than H2CO3) with NaHCO3 is:
