Abstract
Conductivity of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) surfactants in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols has been measured experimentally at different temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K). Surface tension was also measured experimentally for SDS and SLES in aqueous solution at 298.15 K. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of both SDS and SLES was determined from the measured conductivity and surface tension data. The CMC was found to increase as the temperature and alcohol mole fraction increased in all solvents used. Depending on the conductivity data, the association constant (Ka) of both SDS and SLES was also determined applying Shedlowsky conductance equation. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG˚, ΔH˚, and ΔS˚) of the micellization and association processes were evaluated from the temperature dependence of micellization and association constants. The results indicate that the association constant of both SDS and SLES decrease as the temperature and alcohol mole fraction increased in all solvents used. Also it was found that CMC and Ka of both SDS and SLES increase in the order: methanol > ethanol > glycerol. The association process was found to be spontaneous one. The density and refractive index of both SDS and SLES in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols, has been measured experimentally at 298.15 K. Depending on the density data, the molar volume of the two surfactants was determined and discussed. Also depending on the refractive index data, the molar refraction and the polarizability of both SDS and SLES was calculated and discussed. A computer programs were used for all calculations.

1 Introduction
Many chemical industry, such as oil recovery, oil slick dispersion for environmental protection, detergents, paints, dyestuffs, paper coatings, inks, plastics and fibers, personal care and cosmetics, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc. are considered as surfactants applications specially in the system of ionic surfactants in mixed solvents.
At low concentrations, most properties are similar to those of a simple electrolyte.
One notable exception is the surface tension, which decreases rapidly with increasing surfactant concentration. However, all the properties (interfacial and bulk) show an abrupt change at a particular concentration, which is consistent with the fact that at and above this concentration, surface active ions or molecules in solution associate to form larger units. These associated units are called micelles (self-assembled structures) and the first formed aggregates are generally approximately spherical.
The concentration at which this association phenomenon occurs is known as the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Each surfactant molecules has a characteristic CMC at a given temperature and electrolyte concentration. The Critical Micelle Concentration indicates the usually narrow range of concentrations separating the limits, at below which most of the surfactant is in the monomeric state and above which virtually all additional surfactants enters the micellar state [1]. The size and shape of the micellization can be controlled by varying surfactant concentration and structure, solvent properties, temperature, pH, and so on. The variation of the CMC with chemical and physical parameters provides good insights into the nature of the surfactant self-association. The physical methods for CMC determination includes conductivity, solubility, viscosity, light scattering, measuring the surface tension by Wiebelmy slide method or by the method of maximum bubble pressure, measurement of ion activity and by dye incorporation method, Gel filtration spectrophtometrically and counter ion magnetic resonance [2,3,4,5,6]. Some authors had been used the conductivity measurements to study the micellization of; SDS surfactant in water and in propanol-water mixed solvent [7,8,9,10,11,12], other surfactant [13, 14] and ionic liquids [15,16,17,18,19]. The density measurements had been used to calculate the molar volume of some surfactants [20] and other substances in different solutions [21,22,23,24]. The refractive index measurements had been used to study the solvation of some substances in different solutions [25,26,27]. The effect of the solvent, temperature degree and the chemical nature of the surfactants on the different solvation thermodynamic properties of both SDS and SLES were of little interest in the literatures in the point of view of the CMC, molal volume, association constant and polarizability measurements.
Based on the above introduction, the present work aims to study the solvation thermodynamic parameters (CMC, association constants, molal volume and the polarizability) of both SDS and SLES using different measurements such as; conductivity, surface tension, density, and refractive index in aqueous and in different mole fractions of alcoholic (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol)-aqueous solvents at different temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K).

All solutions were prepared in cleaned glass volumetric flasks. Bidistilled water with conductivity between 0.05 and 0.5 µS cm−1 was used to prepare the required Stock solutions. Stock solution (0.1 mol L−1) and (0.01 mol L−1) of both SDS and SLES surfactant, respectively, was prepared.
2.2 Apparatus and procedure
The conductivity measurements were carried out using a Jenway Conductivity Bridge of certainty (± 0.025 µS cm−1). The conductivity bridge was calibrated by the determination of the cell constant, Kcell, using different standard potassium chloride solutions [28]. The conductivity was measured as a function of both SDS and SLES concentration. To avoid dilution error in the preparation of different SDS and SLES surfactant solutions, the concentration of the sample solution was successively increased by a stepwise addition of 0.25 or 0.5 mL of the previously prepared surfactant solution (0.1 mol L−1) and (0.01 mol L−1) to 40.0 mL of pure solvent initially placed in a double jacket glass cell. The temperature of the solution in the double jacket glass cell was kept constant within ± 0.1 K of a desired temperature using an ultrathermostate of type (MLW 3230, Germany). After each addition, the solution was stirred to ensure homogeneous mixing, and then was subjected to the conductivity measurement. The uncertainty in the conductivity measurement is ± 0.025 µS cm−1. The specific conductance was measured in duplicate and an average of the measurements was then used for calculations. The Surface tension measurements were carried out using a digital tensiometer K9 (ring method).
3 Results and discussion
3.1 Concentration dependence of conductivity
The conductivity of both SDS and SLES surfactants in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols, has been measured experimentally at different temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K) as described in the experimental section. To estimate the CMC of SDS and SLES in different solutions and at different temperatures, the relation of the measured conductivity versus the surfactants concentration was done as presented in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and (S1–S12). The CMC for both SDS and SLES was also estimated at 298.15 K in water solvent using the surface tension measurements as presented in Figs. 9 and 10. The CMC values of both SDS and SLES in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols, at different temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K) are collected in Tables 1 and 2. The CMC values of SDS and SLES from the literature are presented in Tables 1 and 2 in parentheses.
The CMC of both SDS and SLES was found to increase as the temperature and alcohol mole fraction increased in all solvents used (Figs. 11, 12 as example). This may be related to the more solvation (less micellization) of both SDS and SLES as the temperature and alcohol mole fraction increased as a result of the dissociation of the inter- and intra-hydrogen bonds.
Also it was found that CMC of the two surfactants increase in the order: methanol–water > ethanol–water > glycerol-water. This may be as a result of the higher viscosity in the reverse order; methanol–water < ethanol–water < glycerol-water and lower dipole moments in the same order; methanol–water > ethanol–water > glycerol-water. The higher is the viscosity and the lower is the dipole moment, the lower the solvation of both SDS and SLES and then low micellization, then low CMC. The CMC of both SDS and SLES in water at 298 K was found to agree with literature value [29, 42]. This can be also related to the effect of the hydrogen bond perturbation in this mixed solvent systems which differs from glycerol-water to that of ethanol–water and methanol–water.
In comparing the CMC values of the surfactants under study, it was found that CMC of the SDS surfactant is more than that of SLES surfactant. This may be related to the presence of ether group in SLES, which may decrease the solvation (increase the micellization) of SLES than that of SDS as a result of hydrogen bond formation.
The degree of ionization in the micelle (α) and the degree of counter ion binding, β = (1 − α) of both (SDS) and (SLES) as a function of mole fraction of alcohol at different temperatures were calculated as in the following equation [5]:
where S2/S1, the ratio of slopes of post and pre micelle regions and subsequently β was calculated as, (β = 1 − α). The slopes were estimated from the linear plots of conductivity versus the concentration of surfactants. The values of α and β are recorded in Tables 3 and 4.
The thermodynamic parameters of micellization were obtained using the following equations:
where α is the degree of ionization in the micelle, R is the gas constant and T is the absolute temperature. The standard free energy change (ΔGmic), the standard enthalpy change (ΔHmic) and the standard entropy change (∆Smic) of micellization process of both SDS and SLES were calculated by plotting of (ΔGmic) versus T, where the slope = (− ∆Smic) and the intercept = (∆Hmic).
Since the conductance of an ion depends on its mobility, it is quite reasonable to treat the rate process taking into account change of temperature on the basis of the following equation:
The activation energy of micellization process of both (SDS) and (SLES) can be estimated by plotting of (ln CMC) versus (1/T) where the slope = (− Ea/R) and the intercept = (ln A). The free energy change (ΔGmic), the enthalpy change (ΔHmic), the entropy change (∆Smic) and the activation energy of micellization process of (SDS) and (SLES) are presented in Tables 5 and 6.
From Tables 5 and 6, the values of ΔGmic, were found to be negative in all cases under study, showing the spontaneity of the micellization process, indicating that the increase in the concentration of alcohols makes the process more spontaneous. Similarly negative values of ΔHmic indicate the exothermic nature of the micellization process. The values of ΔSmic were negative which indicate the spontaneity of the micellization process.
3.2 Association constant and Walden product
The equivalent conductance (Λ) of both SDS and SLES in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols at different temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K) has been calculated from the measured conductivity before the CMC applying the following equation:
The limiting equivalent conductance, \(\varLambda_{^\circ }\) of SDS and SLES were determined from the intercept of the Onsager relation [30] of Λ versus C1/2 in the following equation:
The experimental data for conductivity measurements were analyzed using Shedlowsky extrapolation equation [31], to get the association constant of the SDS and SLES, which follows equation:
S(z) is the Shedlowsky function, which can be calculated as follow:
A is the Onsager coefficient = 8.2 × 105\(\varLambda_{^\circ }\)/(εT)3/2 + (82/\(\eta_{^\circ }\)) (εT)1/2 where ε is the relative permittivity, \(\eta_{^\circ }\) is the viscosity of the solvent and T is the absolute temperature. γi is the mean activity coefficient estimated from the Debye–Huckel limiting law as modified by Robinson and Stokes. Using the data of (Λ), S(z) and (\(\varLambda_{^\circ }\)), the value of degree of both SDS and SLES ionization (α) was calculated applying the following equation:
Using (α) and (ε) values, the mean activity coefficients (\(\gamma_{ \pm }\)) was evaluated applying the following equation:
where Z−, Z+ are the charges of ions in solutions, A, B are the Debye–Hückel constant and (r) is the solvated radius.
The values of the triple ion association constant (K3) were calculated [32] applying the following equation:
Equation 12 was derived by Fuoss and using Walden approximation (\(\varLambda_{^\circ } \, = \,3\lambda_{^\circ }\)). The value of K3 was calculated and was found to be very small values (− 0.00006 to − 0.00029) indicating no chance for the triple ion association.
The values of the standard free energy change of association (∆Ga) were calculated applying the following equation:
where R is the gas constant and T is the absolute temperature. The standard enthalpy change (∆Ha) and the standard entropy change (∆Sa) of association process of SDS were calculated by plotting of (∆Ga) versus T, where the slope = (−∆Sa) and the intercept = (∆Ha).
Since the conductance of an ion depends on its mobility, it is quite reasonable to treat the rate process taking into account the change of temperature on the basis of the following equation:
where A is the frequency factor, R is the gas constant and Ea is Arrhenius activation energy of transfer processes. From the plot of ln \(\varLambda_{^\circ }\) versus l/T, the Ea values have been calculated from the slope [33].
The values of the association constant and the different thermodynamic parameters of association process of SDS and SLES in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols, at different temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K), are presented in Tables 7 and 8, respectively.
The results show that the association constant of both SDS and SLES surfactant decrease as the temperature increased in all solvents used (Figs. 13, 14), respectively. This is reverse to the effect of temperature on the CMC value. This indicates that as the temperature increase, the solvation increase, the association decrease, the micellization decrease and then CMC value increase. The association constant of the two surfactants was also found to firstly increase then decrease as the mole fraction of alcohols increased which reverse the expected change. The first increase in the association constant may be related to decrease in the dielectric constant of alcohols than that of water, as expected from previous studies [15,16,17,18,19, 30, 31]. As the mole fraction of alcohol increases more, the association constant then decrease as reverse to expected from previous studies [15,16,17,18,19, 30, 31] which may be related to difference between the electrolytic nature of the salts previously studied [15,16,17,18,19, 30, 31], and the salts under study (SDS). As the alcohol mole fraction increase, the solvation of the hydrocarbon tail of both SDS and SLES increases, and so, the ion-pair association of positive and negative ions in both SDS and SLES molecule decreases.
Also it was found that Ka increase in the order: methanol > ethanol > glycerol. This may be related to the higher dielectric constant and the lower dipole moment of glycerol than that both of methanol and ethanol. The association process was found to be spontaneous one as indicated from the negative value of the free energy change. Also, the association process is exothermic one as indicated from the negative value of the enthalpy change.
Also it was found that the Ka of the SDS surfactant is lower than that of SLES surfactant. This may be related to the presence of ether group in SLES, which may decrease the solvation (increase the association) of SLES than that of SDS as a result of hydrogen bond formation.
Inspection of the obtained data for the CMC, α, β and Ka, we can note that, as the association constant (Ka) decrease (which related to the conductivity values before CMC, i.e., S1 decrease) the degree of ionization in the micelle (α) (which equal (S2/S1)) will, respectively, increase. The counter ion value (β) will then decrease as a result of decrease in association constant. From Figs. 11, 13, 12 and 14, it was found as the association constant increase, the CMC decrease. This can be explained whereas the association between the positive and negative charges of the SDS and SLES salt increase, the solvation and so the CMC decrease.
The Walden product (\(\varLambda_{^\circ } \eta_{^\circ }\)) which are informative from the point of view of ion–solvent interaction [34], has constant value because the molar conductance of an ion at infinite dilution depends only upon its speed and hence, the product of ion conductance by the viscosity of the medium should be independent of the solvent nature. Hence, the Walden product (\(\varLambda_{^\circ } \eta_{^\circ }\)) is expected to be constant for a given electrolyte in a series of solvent mixtures in which the ion –solvent interactions are uniform.
The Walden product (\(\varLambda_{^\circ } \eta_{^\circ }\)) values were calculated for both SDS and SLES in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (ethanol, methanol and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols, at different temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K) and their values are presented in Tables 9 and 10. The fluidity ratio (Rx) which is the ratio between the values of the Walden product of the two surfactants in alcohol-water solvent to that in water can be calculated.
The Walden product (\(\varLambda_{^\circ } \eta_{^\circ }\)) of both SDS and SLES solutions was found to increase as alcohol mole fraction increased in the case of ethanol–water and glycerol-water solvent, while it decrease with increase the alcohol mole fraction in the case of methanol–water solvent. This can be related to the higher viscosity of ethanol and glycerol than that of water. On the other hand the viscosity of methanol is lower than that of water. The value of the limiting molar conductance \(\varLambda_{^\circ }\) is decrease as the mole fraction of alcohol (ethanol, methanol and glycerol) increase. This indicates that the effective factor in the change of Walden product is the viscosity of solvent not the limiting molar conductance.
3.3 Molal volumes
The density of different molal concentrations of both (SDS) and (SLES) surfactants in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols, has been measured experimentally at 298.15 K. From the molal concentration and the density values, the apparent molal volumes, Vφ of both SDS and (SLES) in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (ethanol, methanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols, at 298.15 K, were calculated using the following equation [35]:
Where M is the molecular weight of SDS or (SLES), m is the molal concentration of SDS or (SLES) in solution, ρ and \(\rho^{^\circ }\) are the densities of solution and solvent, respectively. The calculated apparent molal volumes, Vφ of both SDS and SLES in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (ethanol, methanol, and glycerol) with different alcohol mole fractions at 298.15 K, are given in Tables 11 and 12.
The packing density (the relation between the Van der Waals volume and the partial molal volume of relatively large molecules is found to be constant [36, 37]). Therefore, it is possible to calculate the Van der Waals volumes (Vw) of the surfactants under study by apply the following equation [37].
The electrostriction volume (Ve) which is the volume compressed by the solvent [36,37,38,39], can be calculated using the following equation.
The values of the solvated radius, Van Der Waal volume and the electrostriction volume are reported in Tables 11, 12.
The densities values of both SDS and SLES solutions was found to decrease as the alcohol mole fraction increased in case of ethanol–water and methanol–water, while in case of glycerol-water solvents it increase with increasing the alcohol mole fraction. Also it was found that Vφ of both SDS and SLES solutions increase with increasing the alcohol mole fraction in case of ethanol–water and methanol–water, but it decrease with increasing the alcohol mole fraction glycerol-water. This can related to the value of the density of the alcoholic and aqueous solvents under study (glycerol has more density than water, methanol and ethanol).This may also related to the inter- and intra-hydrogen bonds formed in solution.
3.4 Refractive index, molar refraction and polarizability
The refractive indices of both SDS and SLES in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (ethanol, methanol, and glycerol) with different alcohol mole fractions were measured at 298.15 K, and their values are reported in Tables 13 and 14. The refractive indices of both SDS and SLES in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (ethanol, methanol, and glycerol) with different alcohol mole fractions solutions, is increase as the mole fraction of alcoholic mole fraction increase.
Also from the values of the measured refractive indices, of the two surfactants in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (ethanol, methanol, and glycerol) with different alcohol mole fractions, the molar refraction (Rm) can be calculated [40] using the following equation.
where Vφ is the apparent molal volume of the two surfactants in solution, n is the refractive index of both SDS and SLES solution. The right hand side of Eq. (3) is equal to the total molar polarization or the distortion polarization which equal to the summation of both the electron polarization (PE) and the atomic polarization (PA). The atomic polarization (PA) was calculated [41] from the following equation.
The mean value of the molecular dipole polarizability (\(\alpha\); dipole moment induced by electric field) can be calculated from the optical refractive index (n) of a material containing N molecules per unit volume. The refractive index is related to the polarizability (α) of the molecules by Lorenz–Lorenz formula [42] as shown in the following equation.
where ń = (N/Vφ), (N) is the Avogadro’s number and (Vφ) is the apparent molal volume. From Eq. (20), the polarizabilities of both SDS and SLES in ethanol, methanol and glycerol-water with different alcohol mole fractions, were calculated. The values of the calculated molar refraction (Rm), polarizability (α) and the atomic polarization are recorded in Tables 13 and 14.
The molar refraction and the polarizability are directly proportional to the apparent molal volume. The molar refraction and the polarizability of both SDS and SLES in ethanol, methanol and glycerol-water, is increase as the mole fraction of ethanol, methanol and glycerol increase. This increase in the molar refraction and the polarizability of both SDS and SLES with the mole fraction of ethanol, methanol and glycerol may be related to the increase in the apparent molar volume the two surfactants with the increase in the mole fraction of ethanol, methanol and glycerol, respectively.
The molar refraction and the polarizability values of the surfactants under study were compared and it was found that molar refraction and the polarizability of the SDS surfactant is lower than that of SLES surfactant. This may be related to the presence of ether group in SLES, which may decrease the solvation (increase the association and the molar volume) of SLES than that of SDS as a result of hydrogen bond formation.
4 Conclusion
The CMC of both sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) surfactants in aqueous and in alcoholic-aqueous mixed solvents (methanol, ethanol, and glycerol) with different mole fractions of alcohols, has been determined experimentally at different temperatures (298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K) using the conductivity measurements. Also the CMC of both (SDS) and (SLES) was determined from surface tension measurements in water at 298.15 K. The CMC was found to increase as the temperature and as the alcohol mole fraction increased in all solvents used. It was found good agreement between the CMC value from both conductivity and surface tension measurements. Depending on the conductivity data, the association constant (Ka) of both (SDS) and (SLES) was also determined using Shedlowsky conductance equation.

Also depending on the refractive index data, the molar refraction and the polarizability of both SDS and SLES was calculated.
