Procedure

Into an eggplant-shaped flask, an aqueous tetraethylammonium hydroxide solution (1 mol) was charged, and while it was cooled to maintain room temperature, acetic acid (1 mol) was added to obtain tetraethylammonium acetate. Then, ethylene glycol was added as a solvent so that it became a predetermined concentration, and by means of an evaporator, water was distilled off to obtain a solution comprising 50% of tetraethylammonium acetate and 50% of ethylene glycol.
