Chemistry a level help

Help! For this question I don’t get how they drew the esters because the mr of J on the markscheme is 136 but in the table it says it should be 152IMG_2185.jpegIMG_2186.jpegIMG_2187.jpeg

I agree with the MS.

The molecular formula of the bit of the ester that they’ve given you is C7H5O3R.

Can you calculate the Mr of C7H5O3? The Mr of the R group should be 152 - the Mr of C7H5O3.
