Abstract

The power-time curves of the micelles formation process for quasi-surfactant (1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazolane-5 lithium, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazolane-5 sodium, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazolane-5 potassium) and organic solvent (octane, decane, dodectane, tetradecane, and hexadecane) with sec-octyl alcohol systems were determined using titration microcalorimetry. From the data and the area of the power-time curves, the critical micelle concentration (CMC), aggregation numbers (n), and thermodynamic functions (Δr, Δr, Δr) are obtained. The relationships between the carbon numbers of alkane with the CMC and the thermodynamic properties are discussed. It could be concluded that the values of CMC and ΔrGdecreased with the increment of the carbon number of alkane. The values of n, Δr and Δr increased with the increment of carbon number of alkane. For Δr and Δr , the relative order was demonstrated as PMBP Li > PMBP Na > PMBP K; for CMC, n, and Δr, the relative order was demonstrated as PMBP K >PMBP Na >PMBP Li at the same carbon number of alkane.
