Among the following surfactant molecules, the surfactant that forms micelles in aqueous solution at the lower CMC at ambient condition is
Options
- AC H 3 C H 2 15 N + C H 3 3 B r -
- BC H 3 C H 2 11 O S O 3 - N a +
- CC H 3 C H 2 6 C O O - N a +
- DC H 3 C H 2 11 N + C H 3 3 B r -
Correct answer
A. C H 3 C H 2 15 N + C H 3 3 B r -
Step-by-step solution
More is the hydrophobic character in surfactant molecule, lesser is CMC in aqueous solution. Hydrophobic   character   ∝   length   of   carbon   chain
