Synthetic detergents are sodium salts of long chain of benzene sulphuric acid. Disadvantage of these are that they are non bio degradable and thus cause water pollution.
Some disadvantages of synthetic detergents include environmental pollution due to their non-biodegradable nature, potential skin irritation or allergies from the chemical ingredients used, and the high energy consumption required for their production compared to traditional soap.
Soapless detergents, also known as synthetic detergents, have some disadvantages compared to traditional soaps. One major disadvantage is that they are not biodegradable, leading to potential environmental pollution. Additionally, soapless detergents can be harsher on the skin and may cause irritation or dryness for some individuals. Lastly, these detergents may not be as effective in hard water conditions, requiring the use of additional water softeners.
The use of synthetic detergents can be objectionable because they may contain chemicals that can be harmful to the environment, such as phosphates that contribute to water pollution and harm aquatic life. Additionally, some people may have skin sensitivities or allergies to the chemicals in synthetic detergents. Choosing biodegradable or eco-friendly detergents can help mitigate these concerns.
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.
soaps are not equaly good as detergents because soaps are good for oils but dissolves in water it doesnt work as well and detergents doent dissolv in watter making the detergent last longer and works better.
