List the procedural steps, from start to finish, that are required to convert benzoic acid into methyl benzoate via a Fischer esterification.
1) dissolve the benzoic acid in methanol in a round bottom flask
2) add conc. sulfuric acid and heat under reflux on a steam bath
3) pour the reaction mix into ice, and rinse the reaction flask with dichloromethane. Collect the combined layers in test tube
4) wash the dichloromethane layer with sodium carbonate solution, followed by a wash with sodium chloride solution
5) dry the dichloromethane solution over magnesium sulfate
6) remove the dichloromethane by distillation on a steam bath
7) distill the remaining liquid ester in a vial on a heating mantle
