Detailed Solution

Five compounds, i.e., 2, 4, 6-trinitrophenol, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, oxalic acid, acetic anhydride, ethanoic acid and benzene sulphonic acid decompose NaHCO3 and hence dissolve in it.  Note that acetic anhydride undergoes hydrolysis to give two moles of acetic acid , which will react with bicarbonate.
