Sulphuric acid used in this experiment was used only as a catalyst. So, it is not consumed.
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.
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
Methyl salicylate is a liquid ester that is usually applied externally for the minor joint and muscle pain.
WIntergreen oil... Gum
Yes, the acid present is; Methyl salicylate
why hydrogen of COOH group is removed in the preparation of methyl salicylate from salicylic acid in the presence of sulphuric acid
By itself no, methyl salicylate would increase the absorption into the skin of a medicine that could.
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)

a strong minty smell

Yes, the acid present is; Methyl salicylate
sorry dont know .. i need thee answer too !!
The principal ingredient in Bengay is methyl salicylate.
According to the MSDS sheet: Methyl Salicylate Silicone
