Conductometric Studies of Dysprosium Butyrate and Valerate in Methanol

Abstract

The critical micelle concentration of dysprosium soaps (butyrate, valerate) in methanol have been determined by conductiometric measurement. The value of critical micelle concentration decreases with increasing chain length of fatty acid component. The molar conductance at infinite dilution, degree of ionization have been evaluated. The results show that dysprosium soaps behave as weak electrolyte at dilute solutions.
