carbolsyre
Carbolsyre, also known as carbolic acid or phenol, is an aromatic hydroxy compound with the formula C6H5OH. It is a colorless to pale pink crystalline solid that boils at about 182°C and has a melting point around 41°C. Phenol is moderately soluble in water and is weakly acidic, with a pKa near 10. It reacts with strong bases to form phenoxide salts and can be oxidized to quinones by strong oxidizers.
Carbolsyre occurs naturally in coal tar and is produced commercially mainly by the cumene process. In this
Uses of carbolsyre are diverse. It is a key precursor to phenolic resins used in coatings, laminates,
Safety and handling are critical. Carbolsyre is corrosive to skin and mucous membranes and is harmful if
