Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 100 ml glass, heat 50 g of ethyl alcohol (C16H34O) to 40° C. and maintain temperature. Slowly add, while stirring, 5 g of salicylic acid (C7H6O3) until dissolved. Add 2 g of monoethanolamine (C2H7NO) until completely mixed. Repeat above process of sequentially adding salicylic acid and monoethanolamine until a total of 20 g of salicylic acid and 8 g of monoethanolamine have been added. Remove heat source and allow to cool. After cooling, test pH of the compound. If pH is not equal to 7.0, slowly add monethanolamine until pH is equal to 7.0.
