Abstract: | The effect of cosolvent on micellization of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solutions was studied. The
conductivity of a mixture (cosolvent + water) as function of CTAB concentration was measured at different temperatures. Ethylene
glycol and ethanol were used as a cosolvent. The conductivity data were used to determine the critical micelle concentration
(CMC) and the effective degree of counterion dissociation of micelle in the temperature range 303.2 to 313.2 K. In all the
cases studied, a linear relationship between log(CMC]mix/mol dm−3) and the mass fraction of cosolvent in solvent mixture has been observed. The free energy (ΔG
mic
0
), enthalpy (ΔH
mic
0
), and entropy (ΔS
mic
0
) of micellization were determined using the temperature dependence of CMC. The dependence of these thermodynamic parameters
on solvent composition was determined. The standard free energy of micellization was found to be negative in all cases and
becomes less negative as the cosolvent content increases. The enthalpy and entropy of micellization are independent of temperature
in pure water, while ΔH
mic
0
and ΔS
mic
0
decrease dramatically with temperature in mixed cosolvents. Furthermore, the entropic contribution is larger than the enthalpic
one in pure water, while in the mixed solvents, the enthalpic contribution predominates.
