fenolaat

Fenolaat is a term that appears to be a misspelling or a less common transliteration. It is likely intended to refer to "phenolate," which is a chemical term. A phenolate is the conjugate base of phenol. Phenol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5OH. It consists of a phenyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group. Phenol is a weak acid. When phenol loses a proton (H+) from its hydroxyl group, it forms the phenolate anion, C6H5O-. This anion is resonance-stabilized, meaning the negative charge is delocalized across the aromatic ring, which contributes to the acidity of phenol. Phenolate ions are important in various chemical reactions and are found in certain pharmaceutical compounds and industrial processes. For example, sodium phenolate (C6H5ONa) is a common salt of phenol. The properties and reactivity of phenolate depend on the substituents present on the phenyl ring.
