1. Correct
2. Correct
3. I don't think so. Alkynes are not that of strong acids to release CO2 from NaHCO3
4. Correct
5. Benzoic Acid, m-nitro Benzoic Acid, p-nitro Benzoic Acid.
 
WOO! Thanks bud. So I got all the 1,2,3,4 correct but 5th one wrong :( Anyway that's great! Thanks again!
 
You mentioned 3rd one incorrect. Did you corrected yourself afterwards?
 
Yeah. I was wondering if it releases CO2 then I thought it won't! 1 point for me!
