Question

A solution of m-chloroaniline, m-chlorophenol and m-chlorobenzoic acid in ethyl acetate was extracted initially with a saturated solution of $NaH\text{C}{\text{O}}_3$ to give fraction $\text{A}\text{.}$ The left over organic phase was extracted with dilute $\text{NaOH}$ solution to give fraction $\text{B}\text{.}$ The final organic layer was labelled as fraction $\text{C}\text{.}$ Fraction $\text{A,}\text{B}$ and $\text{C,}$ contain respectively.

• A. m-chloroaniline, m-chlorobenzoic acid and m-chlorophenol
• B. m-chlorophenol, m-chlorobenzoic acid and m-chloroaniline
