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).
The balanced chemical reaction is :
Number of moles of Na, 
.
Now, from balance chemical reaction we can see that 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 4 moles of sodium.
So, number of moles of oxygen are :
So, amount of oxygen required is :
Therefore, 5.08 gram of oxygen will react with 14.6 gram of sodium.
Answer:
pH = 4.17
Explanation:
According to the molar concentration you stated, pH of the solution is: 4.17
Remember that pH = - log [H⁺]
and [H⁺] = 10^-pH
When:
pH > 7 → Basic solution
pH = 7 → Neutral solution
pH < 7 → Acid solution
An electric current can be carried through a metal by the free flow of the shared electrons.
