Answer
This is a problem difficult to solve from behind a bureel.
I think a preview is necessary here.
The composition we are going to use for the trial is: Menthol 0.75 g, salicylic acid 2g, LCD 5g, ethanol 94 ° 40g and water up to 100g
- we dissolve in ethanol menthol and salicylic acid as well as LCD; all this in a tarred Beaker
- we add Slowly stir in water under good stirring. If possible time you can if half the water is added one hour rest but well covered so that no alcohol evaporates.
- We continue to add water under good observation of possible precipitation; also possibly with rest periods??
- in case of precipitation, we add 1 ml of extra ethanol and check if the precipitation dissolves back.
- Once back solved we continue with the addition of water; observing formation of precipitation, addition of alcohol... etc to end
