Step-by-step explanation:

Salicylates are a group of drugs which contain chemicals that are derivatives of salicylic acids. Salicylates, which are salts and esters of salicylic acid, usually occur naturally in some plants and are also synthesized and used in the manufacturing of drugs mostly as pain killers.
