WHAT DOES SELENATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Selenate

The selenate ion is SeO42–. Selenates are analogous to sulfates and have similar chemistry. They are highly soluble in aqueous solutions at ambient temperatures. Unlike sulfate, selenate is a somewhat good oxidizer; it can be reduced to selenite or selenium. In strongly acidic conditions, the hydrogen selenate ion, HSeO4–, is formed. It corresponds to the selenic acid, H2SeO4, which is a strong acid and can in its concentrated form dissolve gold.

Definition of selenate in the English dictionary

The definition of selenate in the dictionary is any salt or ester formed by replacing one or both of the hydrogens of selenic acid with metal ions or organic groups.
