Viscometric Investigations on Zirconyl Soaps in Benzene-Chloroform Mixture

Abstract

The density and viscosity of the solutions of Zirconyl soaps (hexanoate, octanoate, decanoate and dodecanoate) in a benzene-chloroform (4:1 v/v) mixture were measured at a constant temperature 40±05ºC. The density and viscosity results were explained on the basis of equations proposed by Einstein, Vand, Moulik and Jones-Dole. The values of molar volume evaluates by using Einstein’s and Vand’s equations were found to be in close agreement. The result of Jones-Dole equation confirm that soap molecules do not aggregate appreciably in dilute solutions. The values of CMC for Zirconyl soaps from density and viscosity measurements were in agreement.
