Conductance behavior of lithium soaps (abietate, oleate, and myristate) has
been used to evaluate the true dissociation constant, limiting molar condu
ctance, and thermodynamic parameters (viz., enthalpy, free energy, and entr
opy changes) for dissociation. The soaps behave as weak electrolytes in mix
tures, and the Debye-Huckel-Onsagar equation is not applicable for these so
ap solutions.
