The main component of a detergent is the surfactants or the surface active agents. These surfactants work primarily to reduce the surface tension between 2 phases. When a detergent is added to water, it forms a micelle (or a surfactant cloud) around the dirt particles.
A synthetic detergent is made up of chemical compounds like fatty acid salts (aliphatic) or aromatics like linear alkyl benzene. The main disadvantage lies with the use of these aromatics. aromatics are not very easily soluble in water and we need a relatively higher temperature to solubilize this detergent in water. Another disadvantage of using synthetic detergents in that they are not easily bio-degradable. This has many environmental implications.
Synthetic detergent and normal soap both act differently in hard water and soft water. Soap causes much less pollution to the environment. Synthetic detergent works better in tough situations such as hard water and soft water conditions.
synthetic detergent is normally used for keeping clothes, towels, bed lining etc to smell nice and be soft! gets stains off and marks that are not even visable. hopee this helpss x
(i) Sodium lauryl sulphate and (ii) Sodium n-dodecyl sulphate
Because soaps do not work in hard water ( the water containing carbonates and bicarbonates of Calcium and Magnesium) they form precipitates while detergents are useful in any type of water.
Synthetic detergents are the sodium salts of long chain benzene sulphonic acid or long chain alkyl hydrogen sulphate. in day to day usage these are known as 'detergents'.
synthetic means 'man made'
to wash synthetic clothes.
The hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule usually consists of a series of hydrocarbons. It is attracted to particles of oil and grease.
synthetic detergent contain hydrophobic and hydrophilic substance.the head(hydrophilic) contain sodium zedite.it can react with the ion in hard water and will become more effective.they can contact together. example of hard water is sea water,it contain ion such as calcium and magnesium.these ions will react with sodium zedite and make synthetic detergent is more effective cleanser in hard water.
Inert, nonflammable, hydrocarbon- free synthetic oil, grease & fluids
face soap is for face and bath soap is for bath
There are a few different ways to do this. However, it doesn't mean that it is the best way for you either.
The chemicals that are in them
Major Disadvantage of synthetic detergents are that they are non bio degradable and thus they cause water pollution.
1. they are non-biodegradable.
Detergents are sodium salts of long chain of benzene sulphuric acid .One of the main Disadvantage of synthetic detergents are that they are non bio degradable and thus they cause water pollution.
The major disadvantage of using synthetic material is that they are non bio degradable . Thus they cause pollution like soil pollution and water pollution.
The hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule usually consists of a series of hydrocarbons. It is attracted to particles of oil and grease.
Yes
Static electricity
NO, in fact just the opposite is true. Most synthetics are detergent blends. You can however buy a non detergent synthetics.
sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid
They are very expensive and they can easily get holes in them
Some of the chemicals that are in the GAIN laundry detergent is the 1,4-dioxane which is a synthetic petrochemical carcinogen. This chemical is toxic.
