What happens when you mix C9H8O4(s) + HCl(l)? As in the chemical reaction. Does it dissolve, bubble?
Help would much be appreciated, thanks!

This is a chemical equation representing the reaction between salicylic acid (C9H8O4) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Both of these substances are commonly used in laboratory experiments and in various industries.
When these two substances are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. The salicylic acid and hydrochloric acid molecules will break apart and combine in a different way to form new molecules and products.
The products of this reaction are water (H2O) and a new compound called acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4). This is commonly known as aspirin, which is a widely used pain reliever and anti-inflammatory medication.
The reaction between C9H8O4(s) + HCl(l) is exothermic, meaning that it releases heat energy. This can be observed by an increase in temperature during the reaction.
Aside from the production of aspirin, this reaction is also used in the synthesis of other pharmaceuticals and in the manufacturing of dyes and other chemical compounds. It is also commonly used in laboratory experiments to study chemical reactions and their properties.
