When you deprotonate benzoic acid with 2-napthonal, carbonic acid is produced. With sodium bicarbonate, it splits into sodium and bicarbonate ions.

What is the composition of the bubbles observed when the crude methyl benzoate product is washed with sodium bicarbonate?
Bubbles are mostly of carbon dioxide which are produced by the Action of sodium bicarbonate on remaining amount of benzoic acid.
Is sodium benzoate soluble in sodium chloride?
Yes, Benzoic acid is a weak acid (pKa ~ 4.2) that will dissolve in weak base such as sodium bicarbonate (pKa ~ 6.4)
