- 1. Give at least four medicinal uses of salicylic acid. 2. What are the roles sulfuric acid in the synthesis of salicylic acid? 3. What are the effects of the carboxyl group to the activity of salicylic acid?arrow_forwardThe hydrolysis of an amide in acidic conditions forms A. a carboxylate salt and an alcohol B. a carboxylate salt and an amine C. an alcohol and an amine salt (an ammonium ion) D. a carboxylic acid and an amine salt (an ammonium ion)arrow_forwardEster compounds often have a sweet, pleasant odor. Many characteristic fruit scents are largely due to the natural presence of one or more ester compounds. As such, artificial scents for foods are often composed of complex mixtures of various esters. The exact identity and ratio of ingredients that compose a particular scent are closely guarded secrets in the food and fragrance industry. Suppose that you are a chemist working for a company that i creating a new line of air fresheners. The company is considering three scents: apple, pear, and pineapple. The project manager has asked you to prepare the ester compounds that are largely responsible for these scents. The structural formulas for these ester compounds are shown here: Alcohols for Air Freshener Project Molar mass Density Cost, per (g/mL) Reagent (g/mol) 1.00 L methanol 32.04 0.79 $46.20 ethanol 46.07 0.79 $112.00 1-propanol 60.10 0.80 $72.70 1-butanol 74.12 0.81 $72.60 Use the structural formulas of the alcohols and…arrow_forward
