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.

Does sodium salicylate dissolve in diethyl ether?

I personally think it does. I was performing an experiment in the lab with solubility patterns, where most of the organic compound (p-toluidine, benzoic acid, 2-napthol, glucose) dissolved and the sodium chloride did not. sodium chloride had the specific Na+ charged group which is also found in the sodium salicylate. Then again, my knowledge is limited and correct experimentation will yield the right answer. Source: Undergrad, life science, U of T.
