Description

Organic compound, aromatic alcohol with weak acid properties. Doesn't form water hydrates.

Where to buy

Can be bought in pharmacy (as a component of "Chloraseptic Sore Throat" medicine).

Influence of temperature

At temperatures above 65.3°C338.45 K <br />149.54 °F <br />609.21 °R <br /> can be mixes with water in any ratio

Notes

Adding phenol into saturated water solution leads to splitting solution into 2 layers: the top one is solution of phenol in water, the bottom one is solution of water in phenol
