a) Sodium hydroxide solubility test Some organic compounds that are insoluble in water are soluble in sodium hydroxide solution. These are phenols and carboxylic acids. Draw the structure for a phenol and for a carboxylic acid. Write the equation for the reaction of these compounds with aqueous sodium hydroxide and explain why the compounds would be soluble in sodium hydroxide solution but insoluble in water. The compound should have 15 number of carbons.
