To start with, we added 5 ml of methanol in to a boiling tube, and added 1 ml of salicylic acid. We heated 250ish ml of water over a bunsen burner, until it was 70ish degrees. We added 3 drops of Sulfuric acid before putting the boiling tube in to the water. We let the Methanol boil off, and we got a brown liquid, not the crystals we wanted.
What could we change next time? I have no idea. I am no scientist. but... we could have less Methanol? I DON'T OK!
We got the brown stuff. I asume we wanted the clear on
