I assume you mean in water. Salicylate is a salt of salicylic acid. An organic salt is (pretty much) always more soluble in water than its non-salt counterpart. Water is polar, like dissolves like, etc.

What is more polar aspirin or salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid i would think Look at both their structures; salicylic acid has more polar -OH bonds
Is aspirin the strongest acid?
No, It is acetyl salicylic acid. Common acids are H2SO4, HCl, HNO3...etc. Jigar Modi
Which more soluble an alkene or carboxylic acid?
It depends upon solvent with respect to water, alkenes are not soluble. Carboxylic Acid are soluble but they become less soluble as the chain length increases due to the longer non-polar hydrocarbon chain which can't form hydrogen bonds with water.
A mixture of camphor and benzoic acid can be easily separated by?
Benzoic acid is more soluble than camphor in ethanol. The solution can be filtrated.
Is sulphur soluble in carbon tetrachloride?
yes it will because carbon tetracholride has more dence than sulfuric acid
What is more polar methyl salicylate or salicylic acid?
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)
What is more polar aspirin or salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid i would think Look at both their structures; salicylic acid has more polar -OH bonds
How does the structure of salicylic acid differ from that of benzoic acid?
Salicylic acid (C6H4(OH)COOH) has one more OH group than benzoic acid (C6H5COOH)
Does ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?
The question should be: Is ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?Yes because it has less carbons. Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid is fully miscible.
Why is citric acid more soluble than salt and sugar?
salt is actually soluble than citric acid and sugar
If 1.5g of salicylic acid is heated with an excess of acetic anhydride, what is the theoretical yield of acetylsalicyclic acid?
With 1,5 g of salicylic acid you can obtain theoretically 1,96 g aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid); but in the laboratory (or industry) I remember that the true yield of reaction is a little more than 90 %.
Do we still harvest aspirin from a willow tree?
,,,plants have small amount of salicylic acid,,,but the willow tree have more salicylic to be used in making an aspirin,,,researchers said that willow tree is the only tree having more salicylic acid
Are all bases soluble more specifically is H3BO3 soluble?
No, only alkalies, the bases of Ist group of periodic table are soluble in water, H3BO3 is an acid Boric acid and it is insoluble in water.
Why is Cl2 less soluble than HCl?
Because, HCl (Hydrochloric acid) Is a VERY strong acid. It is soluble in very few things. Most things are soluble IN HCl. Not the other way around. The more acidic it its, the less soluble it is.
Why Salysilic acid is stronger than benzoic acid?
In salicylic acid the hydrogen atom in OH group have a tendency to form hydrogen bonding with oxygen atom in the COO - group thus leaving the H+ ion freely available. In case of ortho methoxy benzoic acid, the possibility of hydrogen bonding is avoided by the presence of strong -CH3 group. Hence salicylic acid is stronger than ortho methoxy benzoic acid.
Which material is more soluble in water salt or citric acid?
salt
Is citric acid water soluble?
why is citric acid more water soluable than baking soda
