What is the equation for the reaction of salicylic acid with acetyl chloride?

EsterificationSince the salicylic acid is acid, so it will be reacting with ethanol to form ester The two-part name of an ester: the name of the hyrocarbon group from the alcohol comes first, then the name of the carboxylate group derived from the acid name by replacing "-ic" with "-ate"Therefore the name will be ethyl salicylate C9H10O4 (google it to get the image)


What elements are in salicylic acid?

Is salicylic acid a non-polar covalent bond?

Phenyl salicylate is a very polar molecule. It has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, hydrogen bonded to oxygen I concur!! The hydroxyl (-OH) group that is on the salicylic acid part of the molecule allows strong hydrogen bonding to occur. It's lack of solubility in water though could be the result of a stronger attraction to itself than to being solvated by water.

What salt is formed when copper reacts with sulphuric acid?

When copper reacts with sulphuric acid, copper sulfate is formed. This reaction involves the displacement of hydrogen in sulphuric acid by copper, resulting in the formation of copper sulfate and hydrogen gas.


Why lead is not used for the preparation of hydrogen from dilute HCL or dilute sulphuric?

Lead is not reactive enough to displace hydrogen from dilute HCl or dilute sulfuric acid. The reduction potential of lead is lower than that of hydrogen, so it cannot effectively displace hydrogen in these reactions. Other metals like zinc or aluminum are used instead due to their higher reactivity and ability to displace hydrogen.
