Salicylic acid will reach with methanol (CH3OH), and form methyl salicylate. This is another esterification reaction, only this reaction occurs with the carboxylic acid group (-COOH), not the alcohol (-OH) group on salicylic acid. Draw the reaction, circle the ester group in the product. Make sure the reaction is balanced (there is a second product.)

C7H603   +    CH3OH --> C8H803  + H2O

Balanced equation with corresponding stoichiometric numbers.

Explanation:

the salicylic acid, also called aspirin, when reacting with methanol produced an irreversible reaction giving methyl salicylate and water

you did not give any options thus this is the best answer i can give to you with this little information you have given

> they are both natural and not man made

> they can be tracked and predicted by the right tools
