What Is Salicylic Acid Used For?
The most familiar practical with this chemical is the preparation of aspirin: salicylic acid is warmed with ethanoic anhydride and a few drops of acid catalyst, and the acetylsalicylic acid that forms is collected by filtration and recrystallised. Because salicylic acid contains a phenol group, it gives an intense violet colour with neutral iron(III) chloride solution, a quick test students use to see how much unreacted starting material remains in their aspirin.
It is also a convenient crystalline solid for teaching melting-point determination and recrystallisation technique. Salicylic acid irritates the eyes and skin and its fine dust should not be breathed in, so weigh it with gloves and eye protection and keep the container closed and dry. Read the MSDS supplied before first use, and store the pack with other organic solids away from strong oxidising agents.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, sources and supplies salicylic acid for teaching and research laboratories, alongside the glassware and apparatus used in organic practicals. A school can place a single enquiry covering reagents and equipment and receive one quotation. Institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets are supplied.
