Why Salysilic acid is stronger than benzoic acid?
In salicylic acid the hydrogen atom in OH group have a tendency to form hydrogen bonding with oxygen atom in the COO - group thus leaving the H+ ion freely available. In case of ortho methoxy benzoic acid, the possibility of hydrogen bonding is avoided by the presence of strong -CH3 group. Hence salicylic acid is stronger than ortho methoxy benzoic acid.
If 1.5g of salicylic acid is heated with an excess of acetic anhydride, what is the theoretical yield of acetylsalicyclic acid?
With 1,5 g of salicylic acid you can obtain theoretically 1,96 g aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid); but in the laboratory (or industry) I remember that the true yield of reaction is a little more than 90 %.
How does the structure of salicylic acid differ from that of benzoic acid?
Salicylic acid (C6H4(OH)COOH) has one more OH group than benzoic acid (C6H5COOH)
Is Nitric acid or Nitrous acid more acidic?
Nitric acid is more acidic, in general the oxy acid having high ratio of oxygen is more acidic.
Which is more acidic methanesulfonic acid or propanoic acid?
methanesulfonic acid

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
What is more polar methyl salicylate or salicylic acid?
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)
What causes water to taste like aspirin?
Aspirin tastes a little bit like vinegar and the older the aspirin is, the more it tastes like vinegar. This is because vinegar is a solution of acetic acid and aspirin is made from acetic acid and salicylic acid.
What is acetylsalicylic acid more commonly known as?
Aspirin is the more common name for acetylsalicylic acid.

Is Nitric acid or Nitrous acid more acidic?
Nitric acid is more acidic, in general the oxy acid having high ratio of oxygen is more acidic.
Is aspirin the strongest acid?
No, It is acetyl salicylic acid. Common acids are H2SO4, HCl, HNO3...etc. Jigar Modi
Which is more acidic methanesulfonic acid or propanoic acid?
methanesulfonic acid
Which is more acidic formic acid or benzoic acid?
Benzoic Acid
What is the difference between extra strength aspirin and regular aspirin?
Extra strength aspirin has more active ingredients than regular strength aspirin. The active ingredient in aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. The more of this, the more strength. Basically extra strength has more acetylsalicylic acid then regular aspirin.
