Sodium lauryl ether sulfate is neither an acid nor an alkali. It is a surfactant that is commonly used in cleaning and personal care products due to its ability to create foam and help remove dirt and oil from surfaces.
it is ammonium sulfate but the sulfate ion has a 12 carbon long chain hanging where one of the ammoniums should be
No, sodium bicarbonate is not soluable in ether.
Sodium metal being insoluble in ether is a physical property, not a chemical reaction. This is because no new substances are being formed, it is simply a case of the sodium metal not dissolving in the ether due to differences in polarity.
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is added to remove any traces of water from the alcohol and ether, ensuring a dry environment for the sodium test. Water can react with sodium and interfere with the test results, so removing it helps to ensure an accurate and reliable test.
Ether has a lower dielectric constant than water. Therefore, the energy required to separate the cations from the anions in ether is greater than in water. The entropy gain that could result from converting solid salt to a solution is therefore not great enough to overcome the attractions between the ions in ether, but it is great enough in water.

No.
No. Sodium chloride is polar, whereas diethyl ether is non-polar. Unlike solutes do not dissolve in unlike solvent. Only "like dissolves like".
This is a detergent. The alcohol that is ethoxylated determines the length of the nonpolar part of the molecule. One example of this type of detergent is Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES).

no, but it dissolves
Sodium chloride is not soluble in ether.

Sodium ions react with other ionic species via electrostatic interactions. Diethyl ether does not contain any ionic functional groups, nor does it have acidic protons.
