Best Answer

salicylic acid is non polar and will not dissolve in water. However, it is soluble in sodium bicarbonate solution because an acid-base reaction occurs. Salicylic acid turns to a salt called sodium salicylate. Sodium salicylate is composed of a cat ion (Na+) and of an anion (salicylate ion). Because of the negative charge in the salicylate ion and the positive charge of Na+, water molecules in the sodium bicarbonate solution and from the reaction are attracted to these ions and eventually dissolve them.

Yes, acetone ignores bicarbonates, but if you dissolve sodium bicarbonate in vinegar, it'll clean the sodium acetate crystals :)

Is sodium nitrate is soluble in acetone?

Sodium nitrate is 'sparingly soluble' in acetone. That means it is insoluble, for all intents and purposes. The reason for its insolubility is that sodium nitrate is polar (ionic) and acetone is non-polar.


How do you differentiate between a sodium bicarbonate solution a calcium carbonate and one with both?

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is soluble in water; calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is practically insoluble in water.

Is sodium bicarbonate soluble in oil?

Because bicarbonate has giant covalent bonds it is soluble in non-polar solvents such as alkaline earth metals but insoluble in polar oils and salts.


Is sodium carbonate the same as sodium bicarbonate?

No. Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3. Sodium carbonate is a stronger base.


Are sodium bicarbonate and sodium metabisulfite the same?

No. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, a compound of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the monatomic sodium ion (Na+) and the polyatomic bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) Ammonium bicarbonate is NH4HCO3, a compound of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It contains the polyatomic ammonium ion (NH4+) and the bicarbonate ion. Due to the acidity of the ammonium ion, ammonium bicarbonate is a less basic than sodium bicarbonate.
