Densities, heat capacities, enthalpies of dilution at 298 K and osmotic coefficients at 310 K of octyltrimethylammonium chloride were measured as functions of concentration. From the experimental data, the partial molar volumes, heat capacities, relative enthalpies, nonideal free energies and entropies at 298 K were derived as functions of concentration. A comparison between the above data and those of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride reported in the literature shows that the increase of the alkyl chain length shifts the apparent molar volume vs. concentration curves towards greater values and the heat capacity, relative enthalpy and free energy vs. concentration curves towards smaller values. By assuming the pseudo-phase transition model the properties of micellization (AYm) were graphically evaluated. The AYm values of OTAC compared with those of DTAC are consistent with the increase of the hydrophobicity by increasing the alkyl chain length.
