Apparent molar volume studies of SDS and DTAB in aqueous and mixed solvents (original) (raw)

Archives of Applied Science Research, 2014

Abstract

In the present study densities of SDS + water, SDS + water + propanol and SDS + water + fructose, DTAB+ water, DTAB+ water + propanol and DTAB +water +fructose have been measured at different concentrations and temperatures. From density measurements, apparent molar volumes have been calculated for the studied systems to study the effect of added co-solute/ co-solvent on the structure of the studied systems. The observed apparent molar volumes in SDS/ DTAB + water + propanol ) systems are found to be less than in SDS/ DTAB + water system. This is due to entrapping of SDS/ DTAB molecules within the cavities of water-propanol complex1.The decrease in apparent molar volumes of SDS/DTAB in water-propanol system are more significant due to deeper penetration of propanol in interior of miclle in comparison to fructose. The apparent molar volume of SDS / DTAB + water + fructose system do not change appreciably with increasing concentration of surfactant, because of poor micelleadditive int...
