NO. Sodium dodecyl sulfate is a salt of sodium and the sulfated alcoholic group. When dissolved in water, it becomes ionized. It is commonly used in detergents and toothpaste and is known as an anionic detergent. Dodecyl alcohol after reaction with sulfuric acid and neutralization with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate forms the sodium salt. The sulfur is bonded to an oxygen so it is called a sulfate. If the sulfur were bonded to a carbon atom, the compound would be called a sulfonate. Dodecyl alcohol is not very water soluble but is quite soluble after sulfation and forms an especially effective agent to reduce surface tension and help release soils. Nonionic detergents are typically polyethoxylated materials that do not ionize to form anions or cations in water.

∙ 15y agono sodium salts of fatty acids are called soaps, they are derived from fatty acids and caustic sodas KOH NaOH etc. whereas detergents are derived from petrolum products

Copper sulphate plus sodium hydroxide?
a big lump of mess i dont think so copper sulphate +sodium hydroxide = Na2So4 +Cu(OH)2 WHICH IS SODIUM SULPHATE AND COPPER HYDROXIDE
What is the valency of sodium sulphate?
Na2co3
What is made when iron sulphate and sodium carbonate are mixed?
when their solution are mixed iron carbonate solid and solution of sodium sulphate is produced..
How many elements are in sodium sulphate?
3; sodium, sulphur and oxygen.
Molecular formula of sodium sulphate?
The chemical formula of sodium sulfate is Na2SO4.
What is the role of sodium dodecyl sulphate in DNA isolation?
Sodium dodecyl sulphate is a surfactant and functions as a detergent. It solubilizes the lipids present in the cell membrane and internal membrane and components of cell and allows a DNA extract free from lipids which would otherwise be contaminants in biological and biochemical assays.
What is the best foaming agent in Detergent?
Sodium dodecyl sulfate
What does SDS do to cells?
SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) solution is an anionic detergent. Detergents dissolve lipid.
What is the composition of sodium dodecyl sulphate in laundary detergents?
CH3(CH2)11OSO3Na which may be verified on its page on wikipedia.
What are the functions of sodium perchlorate in genomic DNA isolation from human blood?
Sodium perchlorate in high concentrations will remove from solution the detergent sodium dodecyl sulphate and protein complexed with it. This and the failure of proteins to be precipitated by ethanol from solutions containing a high concentration of sodium perchlorate can be utilized as efficient, rapid and simple deproteinization procedures during the preparation of nucleic acids.
Does food contain sodium lauryl sulphate?
If it does it probably shouldn't. That's a detergent.
What are the ingredients in Surf powder detergent?
The ingredients of Surf powder detergents will vary depending on the scent of the detergent. For the Lavender and Spring Jasmine Surf powder detergent, the ingredients include: anionic and nonionic surfactants, enzymes, water softeners, fabric whitener, sodium perbonate, sodium silicate, and sodium sulfate.
What is the function of liquid detergent in genomic DNA extraction?
Liquid detergent used in the genomic DNA extraction, emulsify plasma membrane and nuclear membrane promoting lysis. SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate) is an anionic detergent used in DNA extraction. It removes the positive ions from the proteins, due to this protein loses its conformation and gets destroyed thus the cell membrane gets damaged and cell gets broken.
What is ethoxylated alcohol ether sulphate?
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).
What is the root word of deficiency?
The root word of deficiency is "deficient," which comes from the Latin word "deficiens," meaning "failing" or "lacking."
What is the word equation for making sodium sulphate and water?
Sodium + Sulphate + Water = Sodium Sulphate + Water
What is the difference between CTAB and SDS method?
This refers to the type of detergent used to lyse cell membranes when extracting DNA from cells. SDS=Sodium dodecyl sulfate, CTAB=Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide
