Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction between stearic acid $(CH_3(CH_2)_{16}COOH)$ and polyethylene glycol $(OH(CH_2CH_2O)_nCH_2CH_2OH)$ involves the elimination of a water molecule to form an ester linkage.The chemical reaction is:$CH_3(CH_2)_{16}COOH + OH(CH_2CH_2O)_nCH_2CH_2OH \rightarrow CH_3(CH_2)_{16}CO(OCH_2CH_2)_{n+1}OH + H_2O$This product does not contain any ionic groups and is therefore classified as a non-ionic detergent.
