sorry dont know .. i need thee answer too !!
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)
To calculate the amount of 6M NaOH needed to react with methyl salicylate, you would first need to know the molar ratio between NaOH and methyl salicylate from the balanced chemical equation of the reaction. Then, you can use the volume or weight of methyl salicylate and the molarity of NaOH to determine the amount needed for complete reaction.
Methyl salicylate is produced from the reaction of salicylic acid and methyl alcohol. It is commonly known as oil of wintergreen and is often used as a flavoring agent or in topical creams for its characteristic wintergreen aroma.
a strong minty smell
The products of the acid hydrolysis of methyl salicylate are salicylic acid and methanol. Acids catalyze the cleavage of the ester bond between the methyl group and the salicylate group, resulting in the formation of these two compounds. The reaction requires heat and produces acidic conditions to facilitate the hydrolysis process.
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
When methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), it undergoes saponification to form sodium salicylate and methanol. This reaction is a base-catalyzed ester hydrolysis reaction that converts the ester functional group of methyl salicylate into a carboxylate salt.
Methyl salicylate
The principal ingredient in Bengay is methyl salicylate.
According to the MSDS sheet: Methyl Salicylate Silicone
its meaning is to relieve the pain of skin
