How much detergent to use for load of laundry?

It depends upon several factors: a) The size of the load (the larger the load, the more detergent will be required) b) How dirty the load is (the more dirty, the more detergent is likely to be needed) c) How hard your water is (the harder the water, the more detergent is likely to be needed) d) The concentration of detergent used (the less concentrate the detergent, the more will be required) Basically, it is impossible to say how much detergent to use without seeing your laundry, how dirty it is, what kind of water you have and which detergent you intend to use. However, manufacturers will have done extensive testing of their products and will have instructions on the packaging as to how much detergent to use for various combinations of (a)-(c) above. If you are uncertain of the factors above I suggest your own testing: use the lower/lowest dosage suggested by the manufacturer and see how it washes - if it isn't satisfactory, try a higher dosage suggested. After a while of doing your laundry, you should have gained the experience to know which dosage to use for each load of laundry.


What effect does hard water have on a detergent?

potaSome laundry detergents do not produce as many suds in hard water, these are likely to be soap-based products and do not work as well in hard-water as detergent based products.Hard water affects the chemistry of the action between detergents and water to prevent it from forming a good lather. This can affect the cleaning power of the detergent and reduce its effectiveness.Nowadays, there are washing powders and liquids available for a wide range of water hardness. Make sure you choose the correct detergent for your area; you may also need to use slightly more detergent than the manufacturers recommended amount to compensate for the hard water. In many cases the manufacturer will give specific instructions on how to use the product in hard water areas, look out for these labels on your product.

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.
