1. Introduction
Surfactant is an abbreviation for surface-active agent, which includes molecules that are active at surfaces. These molecules have a tendency to reside rather at the surface than in bulk solutions due to their amphiphilic nature. Amphiphilic molecules consist of at least two parts: one of which being hydrophobic and the other hydrophilic. A typical surfactant molecule consists of a long hydrocarbon “tail” that dissolves in hydrocarbon and other nonpolar solvents (water-insoluble; hydrophobic), and a “headgroup “that dissolves in polar solvents (typically water; hydrophilic) as shown in Figure 1. Surfactants have two main features making them essential; one of them is the tendency to adsorb at interfaces and lower the surface tension and the other is the association in solution.
Figure 1. Schematic Representation of a Surfactant (Bucak & Rende, 2014) Surfactants have the general formula RX, in which R is a hydrocarbon chain and X is a polar group. The hydrocarbon chains in the molecule are ordinarily C 8 or greater, may be saturated or unsaturated, may be linear or branched, and may contain an aromatic ring. However, the polar group in the amphipathic molecule may be nonionic or ionic. Sodium dodecyl sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate
(), a common anionic surfactant, was
used in the experiment for the determination of its critical micelle concentration (CMC) in a different solution — pure water and 0.02 M aqueous NaCl solution. The amphiphilic ion is
− while + is the counter ion. 2

The increase in the concentration of a particular surfactant in an aqueous solvent reveals a sudden change in various aqueous surfactant solution physico-chemical properties such as surface tension, equivalent conductivity, solubilization, osmotic pressure, turbidity, selfdiffusion, magnetic resonance, UV-visible/fluorescence spectra of solutes, and reaction rates above a sharp surfactant concentration (Khan, 2007). Such changes in various physical properties of an aqueous solution of the surfactant are attributed to the formation of aggregates of surfactant molecules above a critical surfactant concentration, which is termed as critical micelle concentration (CMC), because these surfactant molecular aggregates are called micelles. Micelles are colloid-sized clusters of molecules; whose hydrophobic tails tend to congregate through hydrophobic interactions while their hydrophilic head groups provide protection. Micelle formation among surfactant molecules takes place when their hydrophobic ends collect themselves away from the water molecules while the hydrophilic ends surround them and are the ones oriented toward the water molecules. The centers of these micelles are somewhat hollow so that they can still accommodate a few more molecules and thus, water with surfactant micelles can now easily dissolve the otherwise insoluble hydrocarbons (Atkins and de Paula, 2010).

the solution, particularly the molar conductivity. There is no abrupt change in properties at the CMC; rather, there is a transition region corresponding to a range of concentrations around the CMC where physical properties vary smoothly but nonlinearly with the concentration (Atkins and de Paula, 2010).

3.3. E quipment The equipment used for this experiments were the Orion Star A215 pH/Conductivity Meter which is used to measure the conductivity of the samples. Also, analytical balance, weighing boats, pipette and pipettor, stirring rod, magnetic stirrer, beakers and wash bottle were used.
3.4. Procedures Preparation of Solutions For the preparation of 0.5M sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaOSO3C12H25), 1.5178 g of sodium dodecyl sulphate was weighed, dissolved, and diluted to 100-mL in a 250-mL beaker. Another sample was prepared using the same procedure. For the preparation of 0.2 M aqueous NaCl solution, 1.6770 g of solid NaCl was weighed, dissolved and diluted to 100-mL in a 250-mL beaker. For the preparation of standard (0.01 N) KCl solution, 10-mL of standard solution was pipetted and diluted with distilled water to 100-mL.
Calibration of C onductivity Meter with Standard KCl Solution Initially, the conductivity meter was turned on and measurement mode was set to conductivity. The conductivity cell and the electrodes were then connected to the meter also. In the measurement mode, f1 (cal) was pressed. In order to highlight the conductivity-channel, the “set-up” or “log/print” was pressed then the f2 (select). After, the electrodes and conductivity cell were rinsed with distilled water using the wash bottle and dr y it with a lint-free tissue before immersing it into the prepared standard (0.1 N KCl). Next, f3 (start) was pressed to begin the calibration. Until the conductivity value on the meter remained constant, f2 (accept) was pressed to display the cell constant. 6

Conductivity Measurement for CMC of SD S in Pure water In a clean 200-mL beaker, 70-mL of distilled water was measured and pipetted. The beaker was placed in top of a magnetic stirrer and inside it a small stirring bar. The conductivity cell and other electrodes were then set up and the settings were set. The value of the measured conductivity was than measured. Using a pipet, 0.3-mL of the prepared solution of SDS was added. The conductivity was then recorded again. 0.3-mL aliquots of the SDS solution were continuously added every minute and the readings of conductivity were recorded every addition. After 15 aliquots of 0.3-mL SDS solution were added, instead of 0.3-mL, 0.5-mL of SDS solutions were now added and the conductivity were recorded every addition.
Conductivity Measurement for CMC of SD S in NaCl solution The same procedure was employed as the conductivity measurement for CMC of SDS in Pure water to SDS in 0.02M NaCl solution, except that 45 more additions of 0.2-mL aliquots of SDS solution were added.
4. Results and Discussions
Objective 1: To measure the conductivity of an aqueous sodium dodecyl solution at different concentrations The conductivity meter (Polyscience Model 4010) was used to measure the conductivity of an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate solution at different concentrations. Before determining the conductivity of the surfactant solution, there is a need for calibration of the conductivity meter apparatus by immersing the conductivity cell into 0.01 N KCl solution. The data gathered in the calibration is shown in Table 1 below.

In the measurement of the conductivity of aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate solution at different concentrations, 70-mL of distilled water is put inside a 100ml beaker. Then this was placed on top of a magnetic stirrer which operates in the settings shown in Table 1. The conductivity of water is then read and tabulated. Using a 1-mL pipette, 0.3-mL aliquots of 0.05 M SDS solution was added into the beaker every 1-minute interval for the first 15

Figure 4. Conductivity Measurements of Aqueous Sodium Dodecyl Solutions at Different Concentrations From Figure 4 above, it can be observed that the conductivity of the solution increases as the concentration of SDS in the solution increases. Though the magnitude of the increase of conductivity with concentration varies at a point. It can be seen that there is a greater increase in the conductivity of the solution with every increase in concentration before the intersection of the two trend lines, than after the intersection. This is evidenced by the greater value of the slope of the first trend line
∙ than in the second trend line 34355 ∙ . 61891 ∙ ∙
This is because, the conductivity of a solution is dependent on the number of charge carriers (ions) present in it. Before CMC point, the addition of the surfactant SDS into the solution will tend to increase the number of cations and anions in the solution since SDS, when added to the solution, will dissociate into
+ and − () () 9
ions and therefore, it is expected that
University of San Carlos – Department of Chemical Engineering CHE 323L FORM-2-Individual Laboratory Report Rating
the solution’s conductivity increases as more SDS is added. After the CMC point, upon addition of SDS into the solution, the SDS will not anymore ionize into
+ and − ions but () ()
instead cause micelle nucleation which would increase the micelle concentration upon further SDS addition but would leave the monomer (ions) concentration unchanged. And since micelles are bulkier than that of
+ and − () ()
ions they move slower and thus are less
effective charge carrier causing smaller increase in conductivity of the solution with increase in SDS concentration than what was observed before reaching the CMC. Objective 2: To determine the critical micelle concentration of an aqueous SDS solution One of the fundamental properties of surface-active agents is the self-assembly of surfactant molecules in the bulk solutions to form aggregates with different geometries like disks, spheres, cylinders, etc. The simplest aggregates are generally spherical in shape and are called micelles. However, this phenomenon occurs only when the surfactant concentration exceeds a threshold known as the critical micelle concentration (CMC). In a micelle, the hydrophobic part of the surfactant molecule is directed toward the interior of the cluster and the polar headgroup toward the aqueous solution as shown in Figure 1a. When a surfactant adsorbs from aqueous solution at a hydrophobic surface, it orients its hydrophob ic group toward the surface and exposes its polar group to water as shown in Figure 1b. The driving force for self-assembly is said to be the hydrophobic effect. As micelles form as shown in Figure 1c, sharp changes occur in many physical properties such as the surface tension, viscosity, conductivity, and sometimes turbidity of the solution.

Figure 5. Surfactant Behavior in Aqueous Solutions (Bucak & Rende, 2014) The critical micelle concentration (CMC) is usually determined experimentally by plotting some property as a function of concentration and extrapolating the results at low and high concentrations to an intersection point (Lindman & Wennerstrom, 1980). That is, at the said point shows a significant change of a physico-chemical parameter, where for this experiment is

In this plot, two tangent lines were drawn and since the point of intersection is away from the graph and the corresponding c 1/2 value cannot be directly determined, the angle bisector of the angle formed by the two lines was drawn and its point of intersection with the graph was determined to find the c 1/2 value. The critical micelle concentration was determined by squaring this value. From this plot, the square root of the critical micelle concentration of the aqueous SDS solution obtained is this plot is

molar conductivity,
λ . As observed in Figure 6, there is a drastic change in the molar conductivity
of the solution from the starting square root of concentration until it reaches the critical micelle concentration. Small amounts of SDS was added into the distilled water. At the beginning of the experiment, a dilute solution of SDS was formed where its concentration is below its critica l micelle concentration. Below the critical micelle concentration, SDS behaves as a normal electrolyte wherein when dissolved in water, it ionizes to produce
+ and − . The addition () ()
of a surfactant to an aqueous solution causes an increase in the number of charge carriers (
+ and − for SDS) and consequently, an increase in the conductivity. At these () ()
low concentrations, below the CMC, only monomers exist in the solution. As the amount of the SDS solution was added to the water, the number of monomers increased. The SDS solution was continuously added then it reached to a point that the amount of this surfactant added was equal to the critical micelle concentration. At this point, micellization occurred. In addition, it is at this point that micelles start forming, being in equilibrium with the monomers. The increase in the concentration of SDS in water above CMC, caused nucleation for the micelle to form. Thus, there is an increase of in the concentration of micelles in the solution. However, the concentration of monomers remained unchanged in the solution. Since a micelle is much larger than a monomer, it diffuses more slowly through solution and so is a less efficient charge carrier (Bucak & Rende, 2014). According to Kohlrausch’s law that at low concentrations the molar conductivities of strong electrolytes (substances that are fully dissociated into ions in solution) vary linearly with the square root of the concentration:
Λ = Λ° /
13
University of San Carlos – Department of Chemical Engineering CHE 323L FORM-2-Individual Laboratory Report Rating
where
Λ = , is the conductivity, c is the concentration of the added electrolyte and Λ is the
molar conductivity of solution. This variation is called Kohlrausch’s law. The constant
° is the
limiting molar conductivity, the molar conductivity in the limit of zero concentration (when the ions are effectively infinitely far apart and do not interact with one another). The constant K is found to depend more on the stoichiometry of the electrolyte than on its specific identity. The
/
dependence arises from interactions between ions: when charge is conducted ionically, ions of one charge are moving past the ions of interest and retard its progress (Atkins and de Paula, 2010). Objective 3: To determine the effect of the presence of an electrolyte on the critical micelle concentration of an aqueous SDS solution The critical micelle concentration (CMC) is at the point at which surfactant molecules aggregate together in the liquid to form groups known as micelles. The CMC of a surfactant indicates the point at which surface active properties are at the optimum and performance is maximized. However, the presence of other component, in particular, electrolytes such as inorganic builders and alkali consequently decreases the CMC of a surfactant. This reduction affects the adsorption, wetting and emulsifying properties of surfactants (Savale, 2016). In the experiment, the effect of sodium chloride aqueous solution on micellar systems of an anionic surfactant such as sodium dodecyl sulfate was studied. It has been observed that the critical micelle concentration (CMC) decreases with the presence of an electrolyte than pure water alone. The effect of additives on CMC of an aqueous solution of a surfactant depends on the nature of interaction between additive and micellized surfactant molecules. Molecular interaction between interacting molecules may involve some or all of the following interactions: dipole –dipole, ion –dipole, ion –ion, van der Waals/dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonding. Energetically favorable interactions between additive and micellized surfactant molecules will increase the stability of micelle, which will, in turn, cause the decrease in CMC. 14

As shown above, the experimentally determined critical micelle concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate at 30.3
℃ and 400 rpm is 8.4100 ×10− /. The technique employed was
done similarly to the previous method described in Objective 2. The trend is almost the same with that of the determination of CMC in pure water except that in this curve, it is almost approaching linearity at a constant molar conductivity value. Moreover, a lesser addition of SDS solution to the electrolyte solution of NaCl was needed for the change in conductivity to approach a constant value.

From the table above, comparing the obtained CMC values, the CMC of SDS in NaCl solution is lower than the CMC of SDS in pure water. Thus, the presence of an electrolyte in a solution lowers the CMC of the surfactant. The addition of salt in surfactant solution is a way of reducing the CMC of a surfactant because the repulsive forces between the head groups of ionic surfactants are fighting against it aggregation which implies that the repulsive forces of head groups of SDS decreases due to the electrostatic shielding effect resulting in formation of micelle at a lower CMC. Ions of salts normally assist micelle formation, and help to formally bind the counter ions, increase the micelle aggregation number — description of the number of molecules present in a micelle once the critical micelle concentration (CMC) has been reached, affect the electrokinetic potential (zeta potential), and as well influence the energetics of the process (Naskar, et al., 2013). However, large errors that may have resulted in the determination of critical micelle concentration of SDS in different solutions may be due to the degradation of instrument and temperature fluctuations.

Secondly, a constant temperature was not
maintained rather an increase in temperature was maintained. In general, repulsive forces between the head groups of ionic surfactants are fighting against the aggregation. This is due mainly to the decrease in the thickness of the ionic atmosphere surrounding the ionic head groups in the presence of the electrolyte and the consequent decreased electrical repulsion between them in the micelle. A decrease in the electrical repulsion would then mean a faster aggregation of monomers into micelles due to lesser resistance, thus a lower critical micelle concentration is obtained (Rosen & Kunjappu 2012). 16

The depression of the CMC Below CMC, no micelles are formed and the conductivity is due to the separate contributions of the dissociated ionic surfactants and of the free counterions. Also, an ionic surfactant is completely dissociated and there is a linear relationship between the molar conductivity, κ of the surfactant solution and its concentration as the surfactant monomers behave as normal electrolytes and thus obeying Kohlrausch’s Law of Independent Ion Migration,

respectively. Kohlrausch’s Law of Independent Ion Migration states that every ion con tributes a definite amount to the equivalent conductance of an electrolyte in the limit of infinite dilution, regardless of the presence of other ions (Parker, 2003). Above the CMC,
κ
is constant and independent of surfactant concentration as micelles
behave like weak electrolyte. The addition of surfactant molecules increases the concentration of micelles, while the equilibrium monomer concentration remains constant. In this region, the conductivity again increases linearly with surfactant concentration, but due to the reduced ionic mobility of micelles compared to that of the monomers — the slope of this linear trend is smaller than that below the CMC. The conductivity above the CMC is the sum of four different contributions: the ionic conductivity of the counterion and of the amphiphile at the CMC, the micelle conductivity and the conductivity of the unbonded counterions from the micelles. The following equation applies: Equation 2 =( ) [] ∝ ([ ] ) where ∝ is the dissociation degree and [] is the molar concentration of the micelles.

Conclusions The CMC of sodium dodecyl sulfate can be investigated via conductimetric techniques. In this experiment, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of sodium dodecyl sulfate was determined by plotting conductivity as a function of concentration and extrapolating the results at low and high concentrations to an intersection point. That is, at the said point shows a significant change of a physico-chemical parameter which is conductivity. The experimental critical micelle concentration of aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate solution in pure water at T = 30.0 °C and 400 RPM, is 1.1560 mmol/L. The 85.73 % error compared to the literature value which is 8.0 mmol/L is due to the errors in the experiment such as the fluctuating temperature during the experiment and due to instrumental errors. The critical micelle concentration of aqueous SDS solution in a 0.02 M NaCl solution is 0.8410 mmol/L. This shows that the addition of a dilute electrolyte solution decreases the critical micelle concentration.
