Detergents are prepared by the action of H2SO4 followed by neutralization by starting with

A
chloesterol
B
lauryl alcohol
C
cyclohexanol
D
p-nitrophenol

Solution:

Detergents are prepared by the action of H₂SO₄, followed by neutralization by starting with lauryl alcohol.
An example is NaLS, which is sodium lauryl sulphonate. Lauryl alcohol (C₁₂H₂₆O) reacts with sulphuric acid followed by aq. NaOH to form NaLS, CH₃(CH₂)₁₀OSO3⁻Na⁺.
