Define the following:
Anionic detergents
These are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or hydrocarbons. Alkyl hydrogen sulphates formed by treating long chain alcohols with conc.H2 SO4 are neutralised with alkali to form anionic detergents.
These are called anionic because a large part of their molecules are anions.
These are of Two types:
1. Sodium alkyl sulphates : Sodium lauryl sulphate - C17H23CH2OSO3Na.
2. Sodium alkyl benzene sulphonates :
