Abstract
Speed of sound and density properties of ternary water-tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide-pentanol system at 15, 25 and 35°C and of water-hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide-pentanol system at 25, 35 and 45°C were measured at fixed alcohol concentration as a function of surfactant concentration. The apparent molar volumes Vϕ,R and isentropic compressibilities K Sϕ,R of pentanol in micellar solutions as a function of the surfactant concentration show irregular behavior which depends on the alkyl chain length of the surfactant and tends to disappear with increasing temperature. These anomalies are ascribed to micellar transitions. For both surfactants at high concentrations, Vϕ,R decrease and the magnitude of the change seems to depend on the type of densimeter used. This observation is tentatively explained in terms of a correlation between the micellar structure and features of the densimeter. From this work and literature data, the apparent molar isothermal compressibilities K Tϕ,R of the alcohol in micellar solutions were calculated at 25°C. Vϕ,R , K Sϕ,R and K Tϕ,R are interpreted in terms of the distribution constant of the alcohol between the aqueous and the micellar phases and of the apparent molar property of the alcohol in the micellar and the aqueous phases. For a given surfactant increasing the temperature increases Vϕ,R and K Sϕ,R in the micellar phase while the distribution constant is weakly dependent. At a given temperature, an increase in the alkyl chain length of the surfactant increases the apparent molar volume and slightly changes the apparent molar compressibility of the alcohol in the micellar phase.
