In this lab you are performing your first organic synthesis and safety information on all the materials you are using must be obtained. Companies are required to provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) for chemical compounds they sell. Please examine the MSDS for salicylic acid, available here. You will find GHS pictograms within the sheet that summarize the main hazards of this compound. The pictograms are essentially the same as the symbols on WHMIS labels, available here for reference. Based on the pictograms, whatare the main hazards for salicylic acid? Select as many answers as appropriate Select one or more: Acute oral or inhalation toxicity Flammable material Carcinogen Self-reactive substance Gas under pressure Corrosive Oxidizing material

Why does the dehydration of an alcohol more often use concentrated sulfuric acid,  H2SO4H2SO4, as the acid catalyst rather than dilute hydrochloric acid, HCl?   Select one or more:   Hydrochloric acid is too small to effectively react with the alcohol in the reaction.   The additional water solvent from a dilute solution could reverse the dehydration reaction.   Only acids with more than one proton can complete the dehydration reaction.   The presence of the chloride ion could result in a competing substitution reaction.

. The following structure represents cortisol, an anti-inflammatory. Indicate in the structure the functional group that will be attacked together with the reagent (chemical formula) that attacks you from the following reagent list. There can be more than one reagent that attacks the same functional group. NOT DRAW THE PRODUCT TO BE FORMED.
