Answer:
Aqueous NaOH: <u>soluble
</u>
Aqueous NaHCO₃: <u>insoluble</u>
Aqueous Na₂CO₃: <u>soluble</u>
Explanation:
The organic acid is insoluble. Its salt (ionic) is soluble.
The important principle is:
If you have two acids in a flask, the stronger acid (smaller pKₐ) will protonate the weaker one. The stronger acid will become ionic and therefore more soluble.
1. In NaOH
Let's write the formula for 4-nitrobenzoic acid as HA.
The equation for the reaction is
HA + OH⁻ ⇌ A⁻ + H₂O
pKₐ: 7.15 15.7
HA is the stronger acid. It will protonate the hydroxide ion and be converted to the soluble 4-nitrobenzoate ion.
4-Nitrophenol is soluble in NaOH.
2. In NaHCO₃
HA + HCO₃⁻ ⇌ A⁻ + H₂CO₃
pKₐ: 7.15 6.36
HCO₃⁻ is the stronger acid. It will protonate 4-nitrophenol.
4-Nitrobenzoic acid is insoluble in NaHCO₃.
3. In Na₂CO₃
HA + CO₃²⁻ ⇌ A⁻ + H₂CO₃
pKₐ: 7.15 10.33
HA is the stronger acid. It will protonate the carbonate ion.
4-Nitrophenol is soluble in Na₂CO₃.
All chemical reactions are chemical changes. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. In a physical change, substances can change form, but the total mass remains the same. In a chemical change, the total mass of the reactants always equals the total mass of the products.
