Chemical formula of detergent

Describe the chemical formula of detergent?

E

Expert

Verified

Chemical formula for detergent surely is not "c3h8o5," as was suggested. ("c3h8o5" does not exist like a molecule.)
Somewhat, chemical formula for "detergent" actually depends on that you mean by a word. By itself a word doesn’t connoted any particular formula.
Commercial detergents are made up of several different chemical compounds (different colorants, surfactants, pH modifiers, chlorinated and non-chlorinated whiteners, and so on). For illustration, one effective (albeit harsh) surfactant is sodium lauryl sulfate (aka sodium dodecyl sulfate): C12H25NaO4S.
