Abstract

For the systems: „Water—0.2N sodium salts of fatty acids and alcohols (3‐methyl butanol‐1 or hexanol‐1) in presence of free acids and sodium hydroxide”︁ the specific conductivity decreases with the increase in the chain length of the soap as well as of the alcohol. The specific conductivity of the solutions increases with the increase in sodium hydroxide concentration. In the plot of specific conductivity and sodium hydroxide concentration, the curvature is more marked in the case of lower soaps than the higher soaps.
