The temperature dependence of the critical micelle concentrations of decyl, dodecyl and tetradecyl a-picolinium bromides has been determined by measurement of conductance. Constants for the equation relating log. CMC and alkyl chain length have been calculated for the temperature range 5" to 70", in increments of 5". An estimate of the effect of temperature upon the degree of counterion binding is recorded. Thermodynamic parameters have been calculated using the uncharged phase-separation model and a theoretical interpretation of the process of micellization given.
The temperature dependence of the critical micelle concentrations (cmc) of decyl, dodecyl and tetradecyl trimethylammonium and dodecyl benzyl dimethylammonium bromides in the presence of glucose or sucrose is reported. Thermodynamic parameters have been calculated using the uncharged phase‐change model. An interpretation of the changes in cmc values, relative to those in simple aqueous solutions, is offered in terms of the resultant of two effects, namely modifications in water‐structure and reduction of dielectric constant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
