Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formation of sodium octadecylsulfate using tristearin as organic starting material is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Synthetic detergents avoid precipitation by using other functional groups in place of carboxylic acid salts. Sodium salts of sulfonic acids are the most widely used class of synthetic detergents. Sulfonic acids are more acidic than carboxylic acids and so in the acidic medium their salts are not protonated. Sodium octadecylsulfate is a type of detergent.
