which simple test can be used to distinguish 2 compounds?
1. para methyl phenol
2. benzyl alcohol
a. Compound 2's solubility on NaOCH3
b. compound 1's solubility in NaOH
c. compound 1's ability to decolorize a bromine solution
d. compound 1's solubility in NaHCO3
answer: compound 1's solubility in NaOH
I am not sure how to get to this answer..and im not sure how to determine solubulities of these compounds in general. someone please help!
