to wash out any traces of acids...handy if your working with phenols....
The mixture is extracted with the sodium bicarbonate to remove the excess acid. This will increase the pH.
Sodium bicarbonate is an inorganic compound as it does not contain any carbon-hydrogen bonds.
To neutralise the acid (HCl).
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is a base compound. So it can be used to remove acidity.
No, despite the fact it contains carbon, sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 is an inorganic salt.
It is because of decarboxylation.

Sodium bicarbonate is white.
No. Sodium bicarbonate is a salt.
NO, because it does not have any carbon hydrogen bonds (you can also google it's structure to verify)
For the most part yes but just to be sure buy the one that says "bicarbonate" on the box. No, bicarbonate is not the same as baking soda. However, bicarbonate is a compound of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). The most common salt of the bicarbonate ion is bicarbonate of soda (a.k.a. sodium bicarbonate), marketed as baking soda. Bicarbonate in organic chemistry is an intermediate form in the deprotonation of carbonic acid. it's chemical formula is HCO3. Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical rose in the physiological pH buffering system. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate and is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. NaHCO3 is mainly prepared by the Solvay process, which is the reaction of calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, ammonia, and carbon dioxide in water. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an amphoteric compound.
No, sodium bicarbonate is not soluable in ether.
