Abstract
The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS) of the micellization of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solutions of 1-pentanol at 298.15 and 313.15 K are measured via micelle destruction. Critical micelle concentrations CMC 1 and CMC 2 at different concentrations of pentanol are determined. It is found that adding pentanol to a solution at 313.15 K does not affect the entropy of micelle formation, which is ΔS in pure water. A linear compensation relationship between the ΔH and ΔG values is revealed. It is shown that the entropy of a solution at 298.15 K falls upon adding pentanol, and the compensation relationship between the ΔH and ΔS values is in this case similar to the one obtained upon varying the temperature of a solution.
