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).
Explanation:
(a) The given data is as follows.
Pressure on top () = 140 bar =
(as 1 bar =
)
Temperature = = (15 + 273) K = 288 K
Density of gas =
= 0.4548
=
=
Hence, pressure at the natural gas-oil interface is .
(b) At the bottom of the tank,
= 2.206 \times 10^{7} Pa + 700 \times 9.81 \times (6000 - 4700)[/tex]
=
= 309.8 bar
Hence, at the bottom of the well at pressure is 309.8 bar.
