Best Answer

Several organic compounds have that formula.

However, the way that it's written... with a lone hydrogen in front... strongly implies that the answer is probably phenol.

Phenol is a benzene ring with an alcohol group attached to one of the carbons. The hydrogen in the alcohol is less strongly held than is typical of alcoholic hydrogens, so phenol is a weak acid (most alcohols are neutral) and even has the older name of "carbolic acid" to reflect this.
