Hi! I need help to predict the products of the neutralization of fluorosilicic acid (23%) using a commercial acid neutralizer product. The SDS for the product only shows triethanolamine (40-70%) and diethanolamine (0.1-0.29%) with a pH of around 11. I know this is incomplete information but would be greatly appreciative of any help you could provide.

You willl get Triethanolammonium fluoro silicate.

2 (HOCH2CH2)3N + H2SiF6 => [(HOCH2CH2)3NH]2SiF6
