The document outlines procedures for synthesizing salicylic acid from acetic acid and sulfuric acid with heating. Key steps include weighing salicylic acid, adding it to acetic acid with sulfuric acid, heating the mixture at 150C for 20 minutes, then cooling and collecting the precipitated product through filtration and drying. The yield and melting point of the product are then determined.

Weigh out 0.80g of salicylic acid into a dry 25ml RBF. Add 5 ml of acetic acid from a pre-adjusted dispenser in the fume hood. Add 2 drops of concentrated H2SO4. Swirl the solution gently and avoid splashing it onto the internal wall of the flask Add a small magnetic stirrer bar. Add a Liebig Condenser at the top of the RBF, secure the flask and condenser with a clamp. Set up a reflux system/ Heat the reaction mixture, with the oil bath set to 150oC, until the solution turns clear. Continue heating for another 20 minutes.
Pre-cool about 100ml of DI water in a 100ml
Erlenmeyer and an empty 50ml Erlenmeyer After 20 min of reaction, cool the reaction flask and 6. its content to room temperature for 5 min before immersing the flask in an ice water bath for 5min, a white precipitate should form. Transfer the content from the RBF into the prechilled 50ml Erlenmeyer flask. Transfer the residual 7. reaction mixture with 25ml of cold deionized water. Gather all reaction mixture in the 50ml Erlenmeyer flask. Stir well with a spatula for 10min Recover the solid by suction filtration and wash the 8. crystals with 2 portions of 25ml of cold deionized water Collect the solid on a pre-weighted glass watch. 9. Spread the solid on the glass watch and dry under IR lamp 10. Determine mass/yield and melting point of product obtained
