Would you mind letting us know what it is you're extracting? My crystal ball isn't working very well tonight. :-)
But my best guess, knowing ONLY that NaHCO3 is being used---probably you have a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) in a procedure and the NaHCO3 will neutralize the excess RCOOH.
why is the reaction mixture extracted with sodium bicarbonate?give an equation and explain its relevance.
