Question

Acetylsalicylic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form a water soluble salt. Write a balance equation to show the above reaction.

Answer 1

nice questions. wait I will tell you

Answer 2

Answer:

The balance equation for the given reaction process is:

$C_{5} H_{\mathrm{g}} O_{4}+N a H C O_{3} \rightarrow C_{9} H_{7} O_{4} N a+C O_{2}+H_{2} O$

Explanation:

Acetylsalicylic acid+Sodium Bicarbonate→ Sodium Acetylsalicylate+Carbon Dioxide+Water

This reaction between acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin, and sodium bicarbonate is used to derive a more soluble salt of aspirin. This salt, known as sodium acetylsalicylate, is more solvable in water as compared to the molecular form of aspirin.

A simplified version of the reaction is as follows:

acid+carbonate→salt+carbon dioxide+water.
