Vedclass · Answer

(B) The preparation of anionic detergents involves the reaction of long-chain alcohols with concentrated sulfuric acid $(H_2SO_4)$.Specifically,lauryl alcohol $(CH_3(CH_2)_{10}CH_2OH)$ reacts with $H_2SO_4$ to form lauryl hydrogen sulfate.This is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$ to produce sodium lauryl sulfate,which is a common anionic detergent.The reaction is: $CH_3(CH_2)_{10}CH_2OH + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow CH_3(CH_2)_{10}CH_2OSO_3H + H_2O$.Then,$CH_3(CH_2)_{10}CH_2OSO_3H + NaOH \rightarrow CH_3(CH_2)_{10}CH_2OSO_3^-Na^+ + H_2O$.
