Sulfonowego

Sulfonowego is a Polish term that translates to "sulfonic" in English. It refers to a functional group containing a sulfur atom double-bonded to two oxygen atoms and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group and an organic radical. This group is represented by the formula -SO3H. Compounds containing the sulfonic acid functional group are called sulfonic acids.

Sulfonic acids are strong acids, comparable in strength to sulfuric acid. They are generally soluble in water and can form salts called sulfonates. These compounds find applications in various industries, including detergents, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and as ion-exchange resins. For instance, sodium lauryl sulfate, a common ingredient in shampoos and soaps, is a type of sulfonate. In organic chemistry, sulfonic acids are used as catalysts and as intermediates in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Their reactivity allows for diverse chemical transformations. The stability and acidity of the sulfonic acid group make it a valuable component in many chemical processes and products.
