Using a Vernier Conductivity Probe the Salcylic Acid dissolved in water gave a value of 1172 microS/cm (this value may change depending on the concentration of Salicylic Acid in the solution). The conductance of distilled water is 6 microS/cm. So it does increase the conductance but not as much as ionic substances such as table salt which would give 3760 microS/cm.

The solubility of salicylic acid in hot water is about 2.24mg of salicylic acid to 1.00 ml of water at 25 degrees C. Of course the hotter the water would mean you could dissolve more. You would need to know the temperature of the water and the solubility of the salicylic acid at a certain temperature to know.

-2.2 mg/mL according to http://www.sinc.sunysb.edu/Class/che134/susb/susb028.pdf -Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 0.2 (www.inchem.org/documents/icsc/icsc/eics0563.htm)

Why the solubility of salicylic acid in water change when sodium bicarbonate is added?

Salicylic acid is a benzene ring with two neighboring functional groups. One is a carboxylic acid (COOH) the other is a hydroxl (OH) When Bicarbonate(HCO3) is added to water with salicylic acid, the -HCO3 pulls the proton off of the hydroxyl making it a salicylate ion. Salicylate ion has a greater solubility than salicylic acid. I think. That's what 1 semester of Ochem will do for you.


Do sodium salicylate react with HCl and NaOH and NaHCO3?

Sodium hydroxide in a pure form is a solid, so you cannot dissolve anything in it. Normally, NaOH is used as an aqueous solution. But salicylic acid dissolves in water, so the presence of NaOH in the water is irrelevant to the solubility of salicylic acid. It is the water, not the NaOH, that dissolves the salicylic acid.

Is salicylic acid a non-polar covalent bond?

Phenyl salicylate is a very polar molecule. It has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, hydrogen bonded to oxygen I concur!! The hydroxyl (-OH) group that is on the salicylic acid part of the molecule allows strong hydrogen bonding to occur. It's lack of solubility in water though could be the result of a stronger attraction to itself than to being solvated by water.
