Thermodynamic study on micellization of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide ‎surfactant in mixes methanol/ethanol/propanol +water and Ponceau 4R and Sunset ‎yellow FCF dyes using of conductometric measurement

Abstract

In this work, the micellization behavior of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide ‎‎(TTAB) surfactant was investigated in aqueous solvent mixtures of methanol, ethanol ‎and propanol on different mass fractions (10-30%) and aqueous solution of Ponceau 4R ‎and Sunset yellow FCF dyes at concentrations (0.001-0.007mM) based on ‎conductometric technique at T=(298-313)K. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) ‎values and dissociation degrees of TTAB surfactant were determined. The obtained ‎results showed that the CMC value increases with rising of methanol and ethanol mas ‎fractions but the CMC value decreases with rising of propanol mas fractions. Also, the ‎obtained results indicated that the CMC value decreases with concentration increasing of ‎Ponceau 4R and Sunset yellow FCF dyes. In addition, thermodynamic properties such as ‎the Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy of micellization were calculated as a function of ‎temperature, dye concentration and alcohol mass fractions. ‎
