Summary

The solubility of copper(II) dodecanoate in tetrachloromethane, heptane, toluene and xylene has been determined as a function of temperature by employing gravimetric and atomic absorption methods. Each system shows an abrupt increase in solubility at a particular temperature and aggregation numbers have been obtained by vapour pressure osmometry to determine whether this is due to the onset of micellisation.
