Popis: The effects of two added electrolytes up to high concentrations, 0−4 M NaCl and 0−6.6 M LiCl, on the critical micellization concentration (cmc) of octyl glucoside (OG), a nonionic surfactant, in aqueous solution have been measured. The fluorescence probe 6-p-toluidino-2-naphthalene sulfonate was used to determine the cmc values. Log cmc values were found to vary linearly with the molar electrolyte concentration, CS, up to the highest concentrations. A theoretical approach based on the salting-out of the monomeric chain, presented in 1965, has been expanded by incorporating an additional effect of added electrolytes on the interfacial tension of the micelle−water interface. A group additivity relationship for the salting-out of hydrocarbon chains, also proposed in 1965, has been shown to give a good account of the salting-out coefficients of some hydrocarbons, primary alcohols, and methyl esters of carboxylic acids of different chain lengths obtained from literature data. Salting-out coefficients for the o...
