“…McBain has argued that, since the ionic charges on the micelle surface are separated from each other by several atomic diameters, their electrostatic effects will be essentially independent. As experimental evidence supporting this assumption, Mc-Bain and Searles (25) and McBain and Brady (24) have measured freezing points and conductivities of solutions containing both paraffin-chain salts and simple salts and have found that the effects are essentially additive. Some doubt may be cast on the interpretation of these data by the fact that the number, size, and electrical charge of the micelles may be changed by the presence of the added salt, which may lead to a set of compensating factors.…”
