  or     ( or
NaDS) (C12H25SO4Na) is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene
products. The molecule has a tail of 12 carbon atoms, attached to a sulfate group, giving
the molecule the amphiphilic properties required of a detergent.

Amphoteric surfactants have dual functional groups (both acidic and basic
groups) in the same molecule. They are polar solvents that have a high solubility in
water but a poor solubility in most organic solvents. They are electr ically neutral
but carries positive and negative charges on different atoms in an aqueous
solution. Depending on the composition and conditions of pH value, the
substances can have anionic or cationic properties. In the presence of acids,
they will accept the hydrogen ions but they will donate hydrogen ions to the
solution in the presence of bases, which balances the pH. Such actions make
buffer solutions which resist change to the pH. In the detergency ability
amphoteric surfactants which change their char ge according to the pH of the
solution affects properties of foaming, wetting and detergentcy through a surface
action that exerts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. In biochemistry
amphoteric surfactant is used as a detergent for purifying, clea nsing and
antimicrobial effects. Alkylbetains and aminoxides are amphoteric surfactants.
