Would a compound that is soluble in HCl be soluble in NaHCO3?

Question

I think that a compound that is soluble in NaOH and not HCl would be soluble in NaHCO3, right?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I believe the solubility in NaOH vs NaHCO3 is to differentiate between strong and weak acids.

Answer 2

But a compound that's soluble in HCl won't be soluble in NaHCO3?

Answer 3

Bases are soluble in HCl. NaHCO3 is not an acid like HCl. I don't want to say that NO compound soluble in HCl can't be soluble in NaHCO3 for there may be compounds that will react with both; however, the general statement is true.

Answer 4

NaOH is a base not an acid ; it is a strong base NaHCO3 is a weak base. A compund soluble in HCl (a strong acid) should not be soluble in NaHCO3
