Specific conductivities of aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulphate, sodium decyl sulphate, and sodium octyl sulphate were measured over concentration ranges about the respective CMCs and at temperatures from 10° to 55 °C. Values of the increase in heat content associated with micelle formation are estimated from the temperature variation of the CMC and the relation of these results to the theory of micelle formation is considered.
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.
