Yes, the acid present is; Methyl salicylate
Organic acids and alcohols are reacted (in the presence of a dehydrating agent) to produce esters. And these substances are often recognized by their characteristic odors. In the case here, salicylic acid and methyl alcohol yield methyl salicylate, which is winter-green.
Sulphuric acid used in this experiment was used only as a catalyst. So, it is not consumed.
When salicylic acid reacts with methanol , Methyl salicylate (commonly known as Oil of Wintergreen) is formed. The chemical formula of Methyl salicylate is C6H4(OH)COOCH3 , It can also be written as C8H8O3
C6H4(HO)COOCH3i know that's the chemical formula.sorry if this doesn't help.it is actually C7H6O3 (salicylic acid) + CH3OH (methanol) --> C8H8O3(methy salicylate) + H2O
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)

why hydrogen of COOH group is removed in the preparation of methyl salicylate from salicylic acid in the presence of sulphuric acid
Water is used in methyl ethanoate hydrolysis to break down the ester into its original components - methanol and acetic acid. This is achieved through a chemical reaction called hydrolysis, where water acts as a catalyst. By bringing water in contact with methyl ethanoate and providing the necessary conditions, the ester can be broken down and the desired products can be obtained.

Bismuth salicylate C7H5BiO4 Ignoring inactive ingredients, the salicylate salt of bismuth is the active ingredient and also lends the wintergreenish flavor as Methyl salicylate is the main component of wintergreen and is a salt or ester of salicylic acid. The methyl ester is the chief component of oil of wintergreen. Salicylic acid is also the main component of aspirin, chemically known as acetylsalicylic acid, commonly abbreviated as ASA in drug preparations.

Hydrolysis is the process of breaking down a compound with the action of water. The products of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of a fat are fatty acids and glycerol.
Propanoic plus butanol
Chemicals in mouth wash: Chlorhexidine gluconate, cetylpyridinium chloride, hexetidine, benzoic acid (acts as a buffer), methyl salicylate, benzalkonium chloride, etc.
