"early detergents were not biodegradable like soap, they became a public nuisance, causing sewage problems." http://www.bookrags.com/research/soaps-and-detergents-woc/
What are the disadvantages of synthetic detergents?
Detergents are not biodegradable because they have highly branched hydrocarbon chain which is not biodegradable.
Can you use soaps and synthetic detergents to check the hardness of water?
Soaps get precipitated as insoluble calcium and magnesium soaps in hard water but detergents do not. Therefore, soaps but not synthetic detergents can be used to check the hardness of water.
What are the disadvantages of soapless detergents?
some soapless detergents are non-biodegradable
What are the advantages of synthetic detergents over soap?
The advantages of synthetic detergents over soaps are :Synthetic detergents can be used even in case of hard water whereas soaps fail to do so. Unlike soaps, detergents do not form insoluble calcium and magnesium salts in hard water. They give lather in hard water also.Synthetic detergents can be used in the acidic medium while soaps fail to do so because of their hydrolysis to free acids.Synthetic detergents are soluble in water and hence form more lather than soaps.Synthetic detergents have a better cleansing action than soaps.Detergents do not cause irritation to the skin while soaps have this problem.

What are the disadvantages of synthetic detergents?
Detergents are not biodegradable because they have highly branched hydrocarbon chain which is not biodegradable.
Give an example of biodegradable and non-biodegradable detergents?
Detergents that can be degraded by bacteria are called biodegradable detergents. Such detergents have straight hydrocarbon chains. For example: sodium lauryl sulphate Detergents that cannot be degraded by bacteria are called non-biodegradable detergents. Such detergents have highly-branched hydrocarbon chains. For example: sodium -4- (1, 3, 5, 7- tetra methyl octyl) benzene sulphonate
What are the advantages and disadvantages of soaps and detergents?
