methyl salicytate is heated in water, salicylic acid and methyl alcohol form. HOC6H4COOCH3 + H2O --> HOC6H4COOH + CH3OH 4.0mL Methyl Salicitate 40mL of 6M NaOH 50 mL DI 50 mL of 8 M H2SO4 What is the limiting reactant in this experiment? Assume water is the other reactant. The density of methyl salicylate (HOC6H4COOCH3) is 1.18 g/mL at 20 Celsius.
