Which among the following compounds will not give effervescence with sodium bicarbonate ?A. `C_(6)H_(5)CO_(2)H`B. `C_(6)H_(5)SO_(3)H`C. `C_(6)H_(5)OH`D. Picric acid

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Phenol does not react with `NaHCO_(3)` or `NaCO_(3)`. Although picric acid is a phenolic compound (2,4,6-trinitrophenol), due to the presence of `3 NaO_(2)` groups (EWG), it is highly acidic and reacts with `NaHCO_(3)` or `NaCO_(3)`.
