Abstract

Micellar and thermodynamic properties of anionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDSn) in aqueous solutions of 5 wt% short-chain alcohols methanol, ethanol, and 1-butanol were investigated by experimental electrical conductivities, densities and sound velocities at 298.15 K. It was found that methanol behaves like a cosolvent and increases the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of both surfactants in aqueous solutions. However, the other investigated alkanols act as a cosurfactant and decrease the CMC by their presence. The values of the degree of counterion association on the micelles of both surfactants in aqueous methanol solution are same as those in pure water, and they decrease with increasing the alkyl chain length of alcohol. Furthermore, the values of the apparent molar volume and isentropic compressibility of the monomeric and micellar forms of the investigated surfactants were obtained from the experimental density and sound velocity data. It was found that the values of the apparent molar properties of both micellar and monomeric forms of the studied surfactants increase by increasing the alkyl chain of the alcohols.
