Demixing of Mixed Micelles - Thermodynamics of Sodium Perfluorooctanoate Sodium Dodecanoate Mixtures in Water
Conductivity, density, heat capacity, enthalpy of dilution, and osmotic coefficient measurements of water-sodium perfluorooctanoate (NaPFO)-sodium dodecanoate systems were carried out as functions of the surfactants’ total molality (m(t)) at different mole fractions (X(NaPFO)) From conductivity data, the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the degree of ionization (beta) of the micelles mere derived. The cmc’s of the micelles are higher than those of the pure surfactants while beta depends linearly on X(NaPFO). At a given mole fr action, the : apparent molar volume (V-Phi) and heat capacity (C-Phi) of the mixture increases and decreases monotonically with m(t), respectively. From data in the premicellar region, the standard (infinite dilution) partial molar properties (Y-o) of the mixtures were calculated for both volume and heat capacity. Y-o depends linearly on X(NaPFO) according to the ideal behavior. From data in the postmicellar region, the excess properties (Y-exc) for the mixed micelles formation from pure micelles were calculated. The values of the excess volumes and heat capacities are positive and negative, respectively, in the whole range of composition. The excess free energy (G(exc)) is negative while both enthalpy and entropy are positive, On the basis of the pseudophase transition model and experimental evidences, the G(exc) vs composition profile was derived, This profile indicates the presence of a critical point for 0.4 less than or equal to X(NaPFO) less than or equal to 0.6. According to this approach, G(exc) was calculated for some mixtures. It turned out that sodium dodecanoate and sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles are miscible in the whole range of composition while ammonium perfluorononanoate (NH4PFN) and ammonium dodecyl sulfate micelles are partially miscible, and the coexistence of the two mixed micelles pseudophases occurs in the range 0.43 less than or equal to X(NH4PFN) less than or equal to 0.75. In the case of the sodium decyl sulfate-sodium perfluorooctanoate system, only a critical point is present.
