Abstract
The enthalpies of precipitation, of AgCl, Agl, Ag2S and silver tetraphenylborate (AgTPB) in water containing reversed sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) micelles as a function of the molar concentration ratio R (R=[water]/[AOT]) at various concentrations of AOT and reagent salts, were measured by a calorimetric technique. The molar enthalpies of precipitation are independent of the surfactant concentration but are dependent on the concentration of the reagent salts and the R value. The molar enthalpies for the same processes in bulk water are not approached even at the highest R value. Effects due to the smallness of the microcrystals and to the interactions between ions and micellar interface are discussed.
