Detergents are – (1) Sodium salts of fatty acids (2) Sodium salts of sulphonic acids (3) Sodium salt of benzoic acid (4) None of the above

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) Sodium salts of sulphonic acids Explanation: A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with "cleaning properties in dilute solutiops." These substances are usually alkylbenzenesulfonates, a family of compounds that are similar to soap but are more soluble in hard water, because the polar sulfonate (of detergents) is less likely than the polar carboxyl (of soap) to bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water. In most household contexts, the term detergent by itself refers specifically to laundry detergent or dish detergent, as opposed to hand soap or other types of cleaning agents.
