WHAT IS THE FORMULA FOR SALCYLIC ACID?

The chemical formula for salicylic acid is C7H6O3.

Detailed Explanation:
Salicylic acid is an organic compound that belongs to the class of hydroxybenzoic acids. It consists of a benzene ring with two functional groups:

A hydroxyl (-OH) group at the ortho position (position 2) relative to
A carboxyl (-COOH) group at position 1.
This structure makes salicylic acid both a phenol and a carboxylic acid. The molecular formula C7H6O3 indicates that it contains:

7 carbon (C) atoms
6 hydrogen (H) atoms
3 oxygen (O) atoms
Salicylic acid is commonly used in medicine, particularly in acne treatments and as a precursor for aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).

C6H4(OH)COOH

This is the formula of Salicylic acid..

Also written as:  C7H6O3

Salicylic acid is a monohydroxybenzoic acid, a type of phenolic acid and a beta hydroxy acid. This colorless crystalline organic acid is widely used in organic synthesis and functions as a plant hormone. It is derived from the metabolism of salicin.
