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.


Solubility of sodium bicarbonate?

Sodium bicarbonate is soluble in water, with a solubility of about 9 grams per 100 mL of water at room temperature. When dissolved in water, it dissociates into sodium ions and bicarbonate ions.

What colour does pH paper change to if sodium bicarbonate is added?

pH paper would change from red to yellow when sodium bicarbonate is added because sodium bicarbonate is a base and would increase the pH of the solution.


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.


Is salicylic acid soluble in 10 percent sodium hydroxide?

Salicylic acid is slightly soluble in 10 percent sodium hydroxide due to ionization of the carboxylic acid group, forming the salicylate ion. However, it is not highly soluble compared to other compounds due to its limited solubility.
