Which one of the following is not a surfactant?

A

`CH_(3)-(CH_(2))_(15)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(N^(+))-CH_(3)Br^(-)`

B

`CH_3-(CH_2)_(14)-CH_2-NH_2`

C

`CH_3-(CH_2)_(16)-CH_2OSO_2-Na^(+)`

D

`OHC-(CH_2)_(14)-CH_2-COO-Na^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Surfactant are those which have charge on their tail e.g. cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide.
Surfactants are those, which dissociate in water to yield positively charge ion.
so`CH_(3)(CH_2)_(14)-CH_(2)-NH_(2)`
is not surfactant .
