$p$-Nitrophenol has higher solubility.

Vedclass · Answer

(B) $p$-Nitrophenol is a stronger acid than salicylaldehyde because the nitro group $(-NO_2)$ is a strong electron-withdrawing group,which stabilizes the phenoxide ion through resonance and inductive effects.Salicylaldehyde exhibits intramolecular hydrogen bonding,which makes it less acidic and less reactive towards bases compared to $p$-nitrophenol.Therefore,$p$-nitrophenol dissolves more readily in an aqueous base (like $NaOH$) to form a water-soluble salt,whereas salicylaldehyde is less soluble.Thus,the correct option is $B$.

Which of the following is true regarding the solubility of $p$-nitrophenol and salicylaldehyde in a base?
