Answer #1

A carboxylic acid with lower molecular weight will form more number of hydrogen bonds with water. Thus it will be more soluble in water.

So among the given acids the increasing order of their solubilities are:

Sebacic acid> Azelaic acid>Hippuric acid> p ansic acid> 4-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid> Cinnamic acid

Among Hippuric acid and 4-hydroxylpehnyl acetic acid, 4-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid has 2 -OH group’s so it will have strong hydrogen bonding than in Hippuric acid.
