Interpretation:
Whether the laundry detergent leaves clothes brighter, whiter, new and improved or not should be determined.
Concept introduction Detergents are a mixture of surfactant (surface active agents) used for washing and cleaning purpose. They are amphiphilic which are partly polar and non-polar (hydrophilic & hydrophobic). They are classified into three broad categories, such as anionic detergents- alkyl benzenesulfonates, where alkyl benzene is anionic and lipophilic, and sulfonate is hydrophilic. Cationic detergent is similar to anionic sulfonate group but as cation they have quaternary ammonium. Non-ionic and zwitterionic detergents are uncharged, they have hydrophilic head groups. They are based on polyoxyethylene or a glycoside

- Please provide with answer, steps and explanation of ideas to solve.arrow_forwardUsing what we have learned in CHEM 2310 and up through class on 1/31, propose a series of reaction steps to achieve the transformation below. Be sure to show all reagents and intermediates for full credit. You do not need to draw mechanism arrows, but you do need to include charges where appropriate. If you do not put your group name, you will get half credit at most. ?
