Salicylic acid is added into a test tube, followed by methanol and sulfuric acid as the catalyst. It is heated for 10-15 minutes and poured into a beaker with crushed ice. This is the esterification of Oil of wintergreen. Write the complete reaction equation and describe the odor of the reactants (salicylic acid and methanol) and the products (oil of wintergreen).

Which statement about chemical equilibrium is not true? Chemical equilibrium can only be attained by starting with reagents from the reactant side of the equation. At equilibrium, the reactant and product concentrations are constant. The same equilibrium state can be attained starting either from the reactant or product side of the equation. At equilibrium, the reactant and the product concentrations show no further change with time. At equilibrium, the forward reaction rate equals the reverse reaction rate.
