Density, Apparent Molar Volume and Expansibility Behaviour of Alkaline Earth Metal Laurates in Non-Aqueous Medium at Different Temperatures
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The density measurement, ρ (gcm-3) for alkaline earth metal (Mg/Ca/Sr/Ba) laurates in non-aqueous medium (50% methanol +50% chloroform) at different temperatures (30-50oC) has been used to evaluate various significant parameters viz. apparent molar volume (Φv) and expansibility (E0surf) to explore their solution behaviour. The critical micclle concentration (c.m.c.) as ascertained from ρ-C plots, is found to decrease with increasing temperature and vary with different metals as Mg>Ca>Sr>Ba. Density for these solutions increases with increasing surfactant concentration and decreasing temperature. Partial molar volume (Φov) and experimental limiting slope (Sv) as obtained from Masson's equation provide information on solute-solvent and solute-solute interactions, respectively. Apparent molar volume (Φv) is found to increase with increasing concentration and increasing temperature.
