Thermodynamics of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellization: An undergraduate laboratory experiment

An undergraduate laboratory experiment is presented that allows a thermodynamic characterization of micelle formation of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous solutions. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the degree of micelle ionization (α) are obtained at different temperatures by cond...
