Abstract

AbstractCritical micelle concentrations, degrees of dissociation, and dissociation constants of chromium soaps (laurate, myristate, palmitate, and stearate) in a mixture of benzene and dimethyl formamide (7:3, vol/vol) were determined from conductivity measurements. The soaps behave as simple moderate electrolytes in dilute solutions. Critical micelle concentration, limiting molar conductance and dissociation constants decreased with increasing numbers of carbon atoms in the soap molecules. Spectrophotometric results show that metal‐to‐oxygen bonds in chromium soaps are not purely ionic but have some covalent character.
