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.
