Why adding warm water help you to smell the aroma of the methyl salicylate?

Adding warm water to methyl salicylate enhances its aroma because heat increases the volatility of the compound, allowing more molecules to evaporate into the air. This heightened evaporation facilitates the release of aromatic compounds, making the scent more pronounced and detectable. Additionally, warm water may help dissolve the methyl salicylate better, further contributing to the intensity of the aroma.


Do wintergreen plants smell bitter?

No, wintergreen plants have a strong and sweet minty aroma, not bitter. The leaves contain a compound called methyl salicylate that imparts the characteristic wintergreen smell.


How does ethyl salicylate smell like?

What is the chemical formula of wintergreen oil?

Wintergreen oil is a pale yellow or pinkish fluid liquid that is strongly aromatic with a sweet woody odor (components: methyl salicylate (approx. 98%), a-pinene, myrcene, delta-3-carene, limonene, 3,7-guaiadiene, delta-cadinene)Main component is nothing else than the main component in aspirin, 1 mL wintergreen oil is equivalent to six adult aspirin pills, so it is rather toxic.The formula of methyl salicylate (other names: methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate, salicylic acid methyl ester) is found by linking to 'Related links' below this answering page.

How much 6M NaOH needed to react with methyl salicylate?

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.


What are the products of acid hydrolysis of methyl salicylate?

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.

Reaction between methyl salicylate and sodium hydroxide?

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.
