it forms an ESTER!
The precipitate of salicylic acid dissolves in excess sulphuric acid due to the formation of a complex between salicylic acid and sulphuric acid, which increases the solubility of the precipitate. This reaction results in the formation of a colorless solution, as the salicylic acid is converted into its conjugate base form.
why hydrogen of COOH group is removed in the preparation of methyl salicylate from salicylic acid in the presence of sulphuric acid
Yes, salicylic acid is slightly soluble in ethanol. However, its solubility in ethanol is much lower compared to its solubility in water.
No, salicylic acid is not soluble in citrate solutions. Salicylic acid is an organic compound that is generally insoluble in water-based solutions like citrate.
Salicylic acid, like any other acid, would be dissolved in water.
It is not understood by what you mean by ' reverse' . CuSO4 (Copper sulphate) is an entirely different chemical to salicylic acid. CuSO4 is a blue soluble inorganic solid salt. Salicylic Acid ( 2-hydroxybenzoic acid) is a white crystalline mildly soluble and mildly acidic organic acid .
Salicylic acid is soluble in NaOH and insoluble in NaHCO3 and HCl. In NaOH, salicylic acid can form a salt through neutralization. In NaHCO3 and HCl, salicylic acid remains as a solid due to its low solubility in these solutions.
I assume you mean in water. Salicylate is a salt of salicylic acid. An organic salt is (pretty much) always more soluble in water than its non-salt counterpart. Water is polar, like dissolves like, etc.
Salicylic acid is slightly soluble in 10 percent sodium hydroxide due to ionization of the carboxylic acid group, forming the salicylate ion. However, it is not highly soluble compared to other compounds due to its limited solubility.
The ingredients needed to produce aspirin are salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Acetic acid is also produced as a byproduct during the chemical reaction.
Synthesis of acetyl chloride via the reaction of acetic acid with sulphuric acid
The addition of hydrochloric acid protonates the salicylic acid molecules, converting them into their water-soluble salt form. This increases the solubility of salicylic acid in water as the salt form has greater aqueous solubility due to its ionic nature.
