The methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.
Methyl salicylate is produced by esterifying salicylic acid with methanol, the reaction scheme is attached to this answer. In the past, it was commonly distilled from the twigs of Betula lenta (sweet birch) and Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry or wintergreen).
Answer:
It is the portion of internal energy that can be transferred from one substance to another.
it is either "aweak acid or a lousy (or very weak) acid"
Answer: The osmotic pressure of a solution is 53.05 atm
Explanation:
To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

Or,

where,
= osmotic pressure of the solution = ?
i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)
Mass of solute (methanol) = 22.3 g
Volume of solution = 321 mL
R = Gas constant = 
T = temperature of the solution = ![25^oC=[273+25]=298K](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=25%5EoC%3D%5B273%2B25%5D%3D298K)
Putting values in above equation, we get:


Hence, the osmotic pressure of a solution is 53.05 atm
