What is Sodium Choloride Sulphate?

[NAB3]

Thanks in advance

'sodium chloride' is common salt

don't know what 'sodium chloride sulphate' is though but sulphates are commonly found in stuff too

awaits knowledgeable people

I don't think there's any such thing as sodium chloride sulphate (I'm going to be proved wrong now, aren't I? )

sodium sulphate is used in detergents

I agree daisymoo (I am a chemist!)

I must remember more Chemistry A Level than I thought then

NAB3 where did you find this interesting chemical name? I might be able to help more then.

Maybe its Sodium Laureth sulphate you're thinking of? if so - its a surfactant. That means it reduces surface tension so allowing the substance to foam. (well thats how I understand it anyway!)

BadKitten that is what I meant.

And if you really want to know more:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_laureth_sulfate

well you did ask!

Wikipedia is quite good for general science questions (even if some of its other info can be dubious)

NaCl is sodium chloride
SO4 9thats supposed to be litte 4) is the sulphate ion. it cant be stuck on to plain ole NaCl as that already has a zero charge.
so basically, youve got the tname wrong.

Sodium laureth sulphate.

Thanks all.
