No. Sort of. Sodium hydroxide and bicarbonate are both solids and without water cannot dissolve sucrose. Sucrose is not terribly reactive to alkali, least of all bicarbonate. Aqueous solutions of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids can, but not for long. The strong acid will catalyze the inversion (hydrolysis) of the sucrose to yield 1 mole equivalent each of glucose and fructose. Concentrated HCl (36-28%) will dissolve sucrose, but with the same caveat listed above. Concentrated sulfuric (98%) will cause the immediate dehydration of the sucrose to remove the "hydrate" or water to yield the "carbo" or carbon part (of the carbohydrate). The water will leave as steam whilst the carbon grows out of the vessel. A striking and classical demonstration. So yes...and no.

No, it is hardly soluble in sodium hydroxide though it is amphoteric. It's better in (hydrochloric) acid.


Is carbon dioxide soluble in sodium hydroxide?

Yes, carbon dioxide is soluble in sodium hydroxide solution to form sodium carbonate. This reaction involves the formation of bicarbonate ion initially, which further reacts to form carbonate ion in the presence of sodium hydroxide.

Why is the reaction of calcium hydroxide and sulfuric acid different from sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid?

The reactions of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide with sulfuric acid will produce sodium sulfate and calcium sulfate respectively (water will be another product in both reactions. Sodium sulfate is soluble in water and so will remain in solution. Calcium sulfate, however, is insoluble and will precipitate as a solid.
