What is detergent.
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 11 months ago

  • Detergents are cleansing agents possessing ammonium or sulphonate salts of long chain carboxylic acids that are used to clean clothes in hard water.
  • Hard water is the water containing calcium and magnesium carbonates. Soap forms lather with these carbonate salts thereby making it difficult to clean the clothes.
  •  The charged ends of detergent do not form scum or precipitates with the calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water.
  • Therefore they remain effective in cleaning dirt in hard water as compared to soap.
  • They are also used for manufacturing shampoos and various cleansing products.
