Best Answer

The chemical formula for "detergent" really depends on what you mean by the word. By itself the word does not connotate any specific formula.

Commercial detergents are made up of many different chemical compounds (different surfactants, colorants, pH modifiers, chlorinated and non-chlorinated whiteners, etc). For example, one effective (albeit harsh) surfactant is sodium lauryl sulfate (aka sodium dodecyl sulfate): C12H25NaO4S.
