Question

Detergent containing linear alkyl benzene sulphonate and other containg branched alkyl benzene sulphonate which is consider better and why..?

Answer 1

A detergent containing linear alkyl benzene sulphonate is better than a detergent with branched alkyl benzene sulphonate.

Linear alkyl benzene is sulfonated to produce linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) which is a biodegradable surfactant. LAS replaced branched dodecylbenzene sulfonates, which were phased out because they biodegrade more slowly.
