Methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) is prepared by heating salicylic acid, C7 Hg O3, with methanol, CH3 OH. C7 H6O3 + CH3 OH → C3 Hg O3 + H2O In an experiment, 1.20 g of salicylic acid is reacted with 14.5 g of methanol. The yield of methyl salicylate, CsHs O3, is 1.02 g. What is the percentage yield? Percentage yield = %3D
