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.

How did the change in temperature affect the solubility of a sodium bicarbonate in water?
Temperature is proportional to solubility for sodium bicarbonate in water. Generally, adding heat increases solubility, as this input of energy helps break bonds.
What is the effect on solubility of sodium bicarbonate in hydrochloric acid solution?
********
Solubility of sodium bicarbonate?
7.8g/100g water @ 18C
Does Sodium bicarbonate dissolve in water?
yes Solubility: 7.8g/100g water @ 18 °C (64 °F).
Is sodium bicarbonate insoluble in acetone?
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.
How many grams of NaHCO3 can dissolve in one liter of water?
The solubility of sodium bicarbonate is 96 g/L at 20 0C.
Which will sublimate salicylic acid or sodium sulfate?
salicylic acid is the sublimate, the residue is the sodium sulfate
When sulphuric acid is added to sodium bicarbonate why does the colour change?
this makes sodium sulphate and CO2
Is sodium bicarbonate blue?
Sodium bicarbonate is white.
Is sodium bicarbonate a simple sugar?
No. Sodium bicarbonate is a salt.
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 sodium bicarbonate soluble in ether?
No, sodium bicarbonate is not soluable in ether.
