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.
What else can I help you with?
Is palmitic acid soluble in sodium bicarbonate?
Palmitic acid is a fatty acid and is not soluble in sodium bicarbonate, which is a polar compound. Fatty acids are non-polar molecules, so they tend to be insoluble in polar solvents like sodium bicarbonate.
Is benzoic acid react with sodium bicarbonate?
Yes, benzoic acid will react with sodium bicarbonate to produce sodium benzoate, carbon dioxide, and water. This reaction can be used to extract benzoic acid from a mixture as it is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in sodium bicarbonate solution.
How do you differentiate between a sodium bicarbonate solution a calcium carbonate and one with both?
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is soluble in water; calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is practically insoluble in water.
Is sodium nitrate is soluble in acetone?
Sodium nitrate is 'sparingly soluble' in acetone. That means it is insoluble, for all intents and purposes. The reason for its insolubility is that sodium nitrate is polar (ionic) and acetone is non-polar.
What happens when you mix sodium chloride and acetone?
Nothing happens. NaCl is virtually insoluble in acetone. Only 0.042 mg of NaCl will dissolve in 100 g of acetone at 25°C.
What chemical neutralises acetone?
acetone is an organic NEUTRAL material . It does not require neutralising as it is neither acidic nor basic. If you meant neutralising its solubility of organic chemicals then you may wish o add twice the quantity of water for it to lose its solubilising power.
Why was it possible to separate product from sodium hydroxide using acetone?
The acetone is added to our product found in a solid form with NaOH. It dissolves some of the solid, which contains our product and the rest remains solid. The NaOH is the solid and we centrifuge the mixture to produce two layers. The NaOH on bottom and the product + acetone on top.
Is sodium bicarbonate blue?
Sodium bicarbonate is white.
Are sodium bicarbonate and soda bicarbonate the same?
Yes, sodium bicarbonate and soda bicarbonate are the same compound. Sodium bicarbonate is commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda.
What neutralizes acetone?
Acetone can be neutralized by mixing it with an appropriate base, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), to form a salt and water. It's important to handle acetone with care as it is a flammable liquid.
Is sodium bicarbonate a base or an acid?
Sodium bicarbonate is a base.
Is sodium bicarbonate a base?
Yes, sodium bicarbonate is a base.
