There are two parts to this question:
1) What is a sulfate? -- A sulfate is any molecule that has the ion SO42- in it. That ion is called "sulfate".
2) What chemical properties are conferred on sulfates? -- There are no consistent properties across all sulfates, and many more relevant properties derive from the atom paired with the sulfate in an ionic compound. That being said, most sulfates will dissolve easily in water, especially sulfiric acid (H2SO4) which is a strong acid. However, the most commonly used sulfates, like gypsum and barium sulfate are not actually very soluable. Sulfates can often serve as ligands in certain instances.

What is the chemical formula of detergent?
The chemical formula for "detergent" really depends on what you mean by the word. By itself the word does not connotate any specific formula. Commercial detergents are made up of many different chemical compounds (different surfactants, colorants, pH modifiers, chlorinated and non-chlorinated whiteners, etc). For example, one effective (albeit harsh) surfactant is sodium lauryl sulfate (aka sodium dodecyl sulfate): C12H25NaO4S.
