What happened: Weigh 0.25 grams of salicylic acid into a 10-15 cm test tube. Add 2.0mL of methanol to the test tube and swirl until the solid dissolves. Slowly add 10 drops of sulfuric acid. Place the test tube in a hot water bath and secure by using utility clamp and heat for 15 minutes. Cool the test tube in running water. Smell the contents by wafting and record any observations.
What should it look like? White Crystals
What could we change and why? The amounts of the chemicals that we used.
