Pre-lab Calculations: I have already converted 10 mmol of methyl salicylate to 1.52 g and found the theoretical yield of salicylic acid to be 1.381 g.
• Convert 10.0 mmol of methyl salicylate to grams and milliliters. ---> I calculated 1.52 g of methyl salicylate. I still need to convert it to millimeters.
• Find the theoretical yield of salicylic acid. --> My calculation came out as 1.381 g.
• Find the amount of boiling water needed to dissolve the theoretical yield amount of salicylic acid that you will purify by recrystallization (solubility listed in your book). I don't know how to find this
