Explanation / Answer
Benzoic Acid: it has a very slow solubility in water, but can only soluble slightly in cold water. usually, not soluble in water because Benzoic Acid is a non-polar compound and water is a polar compound.it can be soluble diethyl ether. benzoic acid can be soluble in 1M NaOH - the solubility of both acid and base can depend on their ionization. benzoic acid is insoluble in HCl because both are acids and do not react with other.
p-Aminobenzoic Acid: it can be soluble in water. very less or insoluble in Diethyl ether. and it does not dissolve in HCl because both are acids and do not react with other.
Ethyl-4-aminobenzoate: it is partially soluble or insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. and it also insoluble in 1M NaOH. but it is soluble in HCl.
Citric Acid: Citric Acid is a good solute and chelating agent that can dissolve in water, Diethyl ether and 1M NaOH but it does not dissolve in HCl because both are acids and does not undergo reaction.
Naphthalene: Naphthalene does not soluble in water, HCl, and NaOH because of its non-polar nature. it is soluble in Diethyl ether.
