In this video, I will synthesize Salicylic Acid.

First, add 15.8g of Acetylsalicylic Acid (C9H8O4) to a round bottom flask. Then, add 200mL of water. Finally, add 3.3mL of concentrated Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). Connect a reflux condenser, and reflux for about 1 hour. Cool the mixture, and filter out the Salicylic Acid (C7H6O3). Dry the Salicylic Acid, and transfer to a bottle for storage.
