| Abstract: | The present study deals with the interaction of sodium alkanoates viz. sodium acetate, sodium propionate, sodium butanoate, sodium hexanoate and sodium benzoate on the micellization of dodecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride using conductometeric and flourscence quenching experiments carried out at 25°C. The analysis has been made through study of variation of critical micelle concentration (cmc), degree of counterion binding (β), aggregation number (N), and micropolarity with the concentration of these hydrophobic salts. The differentiation between the effects of hydrophobic and inorganic salts was made by comparing the above results with the influence of NaCl on cmc, β, and N. |
