What are invert soaps ? |
|
Answer» Solution :In REGULAR soaps, the anionic PART is MUCH bigger than the cationic part , i.e., `ubrace(CH_3(CH_2)_16COO^(-))_"Anionic " underset"Cationic"(Na^+)` In contrast, in invert soaps , cationic part is much bigger than the anionic part. For example, `underset"Cationic"([CH_3(CH_2)_15-overset+N(CH_3)_3])underset"Anionic"(Br^-)` These detergents being expensive are extensively used as germicides rather than for washing cloths . |
