Chemical equation of dishwashing liquid?

A dishwashing liquid is a mixture of several chemicals. Each chemical in the mixture has its own chemical equation, so there is no one equation that describes a dishwashing liquid. The main chemical compound in a hand dishwashing liquid is likely to be an anionic detergent. There are many different detergents, and new ones are continually being created. The most common chemical structure for an anionic detergent would be a long hydrocarbon chain; on one end of the chain would be a benzene ring with 6 carbon atoms, terminating in a sulfate (SO4) or sulfonate (SO3) group. So we can generalize chemical equations like CH3-CxHy-C6H5-SO3 and CH3-CxHy-C6H4=SO4, where the "x" might represent a chain of 10 to 20 carbon atoms and "y" nearly twice as many hydrogen atoms. If the hydrocarbon chain is straight, the detergent is likely to be biodegradable; branched-chain detergents are typically nonbiodegradable.
