Which mixture would be best to use as a wash for removal of the alkylcatechol from skin exposed to poison ivy?water and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)soap, water, and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)dilute vinegar or lemon juicesoap and water

The question is incomplete. Here is hte complete question.

The components of poison ivy and poison oak that produce the characteristic itchy rash are cathecols substituted with long-chain alkyl groups. The image is attached.

If you were exposed to poison ivy, which of the treatments below would you apply to the affected area? Justify your choice.

(a) Wash the area with cold water.

(b) Wash the area with dilute vinegar or lemon juice.

(c) Wash the area with sopa and water.

(d) Wash the area with soap, water and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

(d) Wash the area with soap, water and baking soda.

Explanation: Alkyl is hydrophobic, which means it doesn't "mix" with water. To make it more soluble in water, soap helps to dissolve the chemical compound. As shown in the image, alkylcathecol is mildly alkaline. Baking soda is a salt that also helps dissolve it by ionizing with the -OH group, which makes it more soluble.

Although lemon juice and vinegar are acids, they are weak acids and so, won't have a strong effect on the alkylcathecol.

As said before, alkyl is hydrophobic, so plain water won't affect in any way the cathecol.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
