, on treatment with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, is
(A) Benzoic acid (B) Benzenesulphonic acid
(C) Salicylic acid (D) Carbolic acid (Phenol)
Answer (D)
Hint : Carbolic acid (Phenol) is weaker acid than carbonic acid and hence does not liberate CO
2
on treatment
with aq. NaHCO
3
solution. Benzoic acid, benzenesulphonic acid and salicylic are more acidic than carbonic
acid and hence will liberate CO

group attached to a chiral center is
Answer (4)
Hint : According to question C Terminal must be alanine and N Terminal do have chiral carbon means its
should not be glycine so possible sequence is :
Val Phe Gly Ala
Val Gly Phe Ala
