Question
Explain with examples: Non-ionic detergents
✓
Answer
Nonionic detergents: These are ethers of polyethylene glycol with alkyl phenol or esters of polyethylene glycol with long chain fatty acid.
e.g. a. Nonionic detergent containing ether linkage:
b. Nonionic detergent containing ester linkage: $CH_3(CH_2)_{16} – COO(CH_2CH_2O)_nCH_2CH_2OH$
