The main component of a detergent is the surfactants or the surface active agents. These surfactants work primarily to reduce the surface tension between 2 phases. When a detergent is added to water, it forms a micelle (or a surfactant cloud) around the dirt particles.
A synthetic detergent is made up of chemical compounds like fatty acid salts (aliphatic) or aromatics like linear alkyl benzene. The main disadvantage lies with the use of these aromatics. aromatics are not very easily soluble in water and we need a relatively higher temperature to solubilize this detergent in water. Another disadvantage of using synthetic detergents in that they are not easily bio-degradable. This has many environmental implications.

∙ 15y agoSynthetic detergents can be harsh on the skin and the environment due to the chemicals used in their production. They may also strip natural oils from fabrics and surfaces, leading to dryness and dullness over time. Additionally, some synthetic detergents may not biodegrade easily, contributing to pollution.

∙ 11y agoSynthetic detergent and normal soap both act differently in hard water and soft water. Soap causes much less pollution to the environment. Synthetic detergent works better in tough situations such as hard water and soft water conditions.

The hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule typically consists of a long hydrocarbon chain, such as alkyl or aryl groups. This hydrophobic tail is responsible for interacting with oily or greasy particles to remove them from surfaces.
To prepare a synthetic surfactant detergent direct automatic solution, measure the required amount of the surfactant detergent concentrate and dilute it with the appropriate amount of water according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure to mix the solution well to ensure proper dispersion of the detergent. Test the solution before use to ensure it is effective for the intended application.
Synthetic detergents are more effective cleansers in hard water because they do not react with the minerals present in hard water to form insoluble compounds, unlike soap. This allows synthetic detergents to produce lather and effectively remove dirt and grease from surfaces even in the presence of hard water.
Germany is where the first synthetic detergents were developed. The chemist Fritz Hofmann created the first practical soapless detergent in Germany in 1907.

The chemicals that are in them
Major Disadvantage of synthetic detergents are that they are non bio degradable and thus they cause water pollution.
1. they are non-biodegradable.
The major disadvantage of using synthetic material is that they are non bio degradable . Thus they cause pollution like soil pollution and water pollution.
One disadvantage of using biopesticides is that they may have a slower effect compared to synthetic chemical pesticides.
Static electricity
Yes
Tide detergent was invented by Procter & Gamble in 1946. It was the first heavy-duty synthetic detergent available to consumers.
NO, in fact just the opposite is true. Most synthetics are detergent blends. You can however buy a non detergent synthetics.
sodium salt of benzene carboxylic acid
They are very expensive and they can easily get holes in them
Synthetic detergents are effective in removing dirt and stains, they are less likely to leave residue on clothes compared to traditional soap, and they work well in hard water conditions. Additionally, they are versatile and can be formulated for specific cleaning needs.
