Chemistry

Two isomeric compounds, A and B, are known to each have amonosubstituted benzene ring (C6H5). Both have the formulaC6H5C3H5O2 and both are insoluble in water. However, when they aretreated with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, A dissolves,but B does not. Give structures for both A and B consistent withthis information. Explain your reasoning. Is the informationprovided sufficient to uniquely define the structures of A and B?If not, what other experimental data would be useful to furtherlimit the structural possibilities? I really need to understandthis really soon please answer as soon as possible.
