Rp. Varma et H. Goel, CONDUCTANCE BEHAVIOR OF LITHIUM SOAPS IN WATER AND METHANOL, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 85(1), 1994, pp. 69-73
The conductance of solutions of lithium abietate, oleate and myristate
has been measured in water and methanol at 35 and 45-degrees-C in ord
er to determine the critical micelle concentration, dissociation const
ant, molecular conductance at infinite dilution and thermodynamic para
meters, i.e. enthalpy, free energy and entropy change for the dissocia
tion process. The results show that these soaps behave as weak electro
lytes in both solvents and that the Debye-Huckel-Onsager equation fail
s for solutions of these soaps.
