(Solved): A binary surfactant solution contains DTAC (dodecyl trimethylammonium chloride) and CPC (Cetyl pyrid ...



A binary surfactant solution contains DTAC (dodecyl trimethylammonium chloride) and CPC (Cetyl pyridinium chloride). The corresponding CMCs for the two surfactants are 2×10 ³M and 9×10 M. Make a plot of the CMC for mixtures of these surfactants versus the mole fraction of DTAC (hint: CMC of a mixture of surfactants varies as follows.) N? ?? -= cm Ci Where cm and N?, and Ci are the CMC of a mixture, the mole fraction of and the CMC of component i, respectively.
