Abstract

The effect of UQ0 on the micellization equilibrium of Triton X-100 has been studied by the analysis of the UV absorption spectra of Triton X-100. In the range of the UQ0 concentration investigated, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) increases at increasing of the solute concentration. The dependence of the CMC on UQ0 concentration has been used to calculate the generalized Setchenov constant. Mixing and dilution enthalpies of aqueous solutions of UQ0 and Triton X-100 were measured and used to calculate the enthalpies of transfer of UQ0 from water to Triton X-100 aqueous solutions. From the dependence of the enthalpy of transfer on surfactant concentration, the distribution constant between aqueous and micellar phase and the standard enthalpy of transfer from water to Triton X-100 micelles were evaluated along with the standard transfer free energy and entropy. All measurements were carried out at 298 K.
