Kn. Mehrotra et N. Sharma, STUDIES ON MOLAR VOLUME AND RHEOLOGY OF TERBIUM SOAPS IN A BENZENE DMF MIXTURE, Monatshefte fuer Chemie, 127(3), 1996, pp. 257-264
Molar volume ((V) over bar), apparent molar volume (phi(v)), and fluid
ity (psi) of terbium soaps in benzene-DMF (7:3 v/v) were evaluated at
constant temperature from density and viscosity measurements. The resu
lts were used to determine the critical micelle concentration (CMC), s
oap-solvent and soap-soap interactions, and the effect of the chain le
ngth of soap molecules on various parameters. The molar volume and vis
cosity results are discussed in terms of known relations.
