I keep on finding different ones on different sites. Does anyone know the real formula. I've found C6H4(OH)(COOH), C7H6O3, C6H4(OH)(COOH)...whcih is it?? Is it any of them??

What is the difference between molecular formula and the formula? On wikipedia it says the molecular formular is C7H6O3 and the formula is C6H4(OH)CO2H.

All are right:
the molecular formula C7H6O3 numbers just the different atoms present in the molecule.
the second formula tries to give some information about the structure: C6H4 is an aromatic ring (C6H6) where two hydrogens are replaced: one by OH (hydroxy), the other by COOH (acid).
What they not show, is the position of these groups on the aromatic ring. They are neighbors (ortho- or 1,2-position) for the salicylic acid.

IF It is perbenzoic acid written as C6H5-COOOH , Commonly written as Ph-COOOH where Ph is phenyl ( benzene ring with 5 hydrogens).In this case 6th hydrogen on benzene ring is replaced by COOOH group. OR It can also be HO-C6H4-COOH that is benzene with 2 SUSTITUTIONS, So, three possible acids in this case are 1. Ortho hydroxy benzoic acid 2.Meta hydroxy benzoic acid 3.Para hydroxy benzoic acid I hope this helps you :-)

The chemical formula for this is C6H4(OH)COOH which has a melting temperature of 159 degrees F.
