Want this question answered?
Salicylic acid i would think Look at both their structures; salicylic acid has more polar -OH bonds
salicylic acid is most commonly known as Aspirin (it is the main ingredient in Aspirin)
Aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid.
37.16% is the expected yield in the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride used to form aspirin.
Acetyl salicylic acid.
Willow tree bark contains Salicylic acid. Aspirin is acetate of salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid has a pKa of 1.96 and acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) has a pKa of 3.48. Therefore salicylic acid is the stronger acid.
Aspirin is formed in a reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. In this reaction it is the phenolic alcohol group that reacts to form the aspirin.
That is salicylic acid or Aspirin.
The active ingredient in aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid. This is an ester, and boiling it will hydrolyze the bond and break it down into acetic acid and salicylic acid.
Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid and an acetate ester of salicylic acid.
well disprin is a type of aspirin and aspirin is mainly made up of salicylic acid which is derived from tree bark
