Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1SC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The change that will make the detergent more soluble in water is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Detergent is a synthetic water-soluble or liquid organic formation that combines with impurities and dirt to make them more soluble. It is chemically different from soaps in not forming scum, but is able to emulsify oils, hold dirt in suspension, and act as wetting agents. Nonionic detergents are nonpolar and help the compound to be more soluble in water.

What is the effect of small amount of impurity on the boiling point of an organic compound?
List five physical properties of organic compounds that are often measured by organic chemists.
Salicylic acid is added into a test tube, followed by methanol and sulfuric acid as the catalyst. It is heated for 10-15 minutes and poured into a beaker with crushed ice. This is the esterification of Oil of wintergreen. Write the complete reaction equation and describe the odor of the reactants (salicylic acid and methanol) and the products (oil of wintergreen).
