What is the reaction equation for sodium lauryl sulfate and dilute sulfuric acid under heating conditions?
Thread Content
As the title says. . To determine the content of sodium lauryl sulfate, according to the ISO method, it is necessary to reflux it with dilute sulfuric acid under heating conditions. Does anyone know what the reaction equation is? Also, during reflux, I used a spherical condenser, and gas came out from the top; there was no solid residue at the very top of the condenser. Is it still accurate in this case? .
I answered it myself. . It is the hydrolysis of esters. .
