Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistrySurface Chemistry
Consider the given statements about critical micelle concentration in aqueous solutions and select the correct statement
Options
- AThe CMC increases as the length of the hydrophobic tail increases
- BIonic surfactants have higher CMC as compared to non-ionic surfactants containing equivalent hydrophobic group
- CNon ionic surfactants have higher CMC as compared to ionic surfactants containing equivalent hydrophobic group
- DSurfactants containing more than one hydrophilic group show smaller CMC than those with one hydrophilic group
Correct answer
B. Ionic surfactants have higher CMC as compared to non-ionic surfactants containing equivalent hydrophobic group
Step-by-step solution
Ionic surfactants have much higher CMC than non ionic surfactants
