Why hydrogen of COOH group is removed in preparation of methy salicylate from salicylic acid in the presence of sulphuric acid?
why hydrogen of COOH group is removed in the preparation of methyl salicylate from salicylic acid in the presence of sulphuric acid
What ester is produced from salicylic acid and methyl alcohol?
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.
What is the chemical equation for salicylic and methanol?
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
What is the scientific formula for pepto bismol?
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.
Why salicylate is more soluble than salicylic acid?
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.
Is oil of wintergreen an acid?
Yes, the acid present is; Methyl salicylate
How can sodium hydroxide convert to sodium salicylate?
You can turn sodium hydroxide into sodium salicylate by reacting it with salicylic acid.
What is the active ingredient in aspirin that gives the observed therapeutic properties?
The active ingredient in aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid. It was first discovered in willow bark by an Oxford scientist in 1763.
What is more polar aspirin or salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid i would think Look at both their structures; salicylic acid has more polar -OH bonds
Equation for the saponification of methyl salicylate?
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
Why the solubility of salicylic acid in water change when sodium bicarbonate is added?
Salicylic acid is a benzene ring with two neighboring functional groups. One is a carboxylic acid (COOH) the other is a hydroxl (OH) When Bicarbonate(HCO3) is added to water with salicylic acid, the -HCO3 pulls the proton off of the hydroxyl making it a salicylate ion. Salicylate ion has a greater solubility than salicylic acid. I think. That's what 1 semester of Ochem will do for you.
What kind of bond is phenol salicylate?
The type of bond that the compound phenol salicylate has is a covalent bond. It is created by heating phenol and salicylic acid together.
