INTRODUCTION The prperties f aqueus slutins f aliphatic mnhydric alchls are f interest in the field f surface chemistry; especially their effect n the slutins. One is that urea acts as a water structure breaker (indirect mechanism). The ther is that urea participates in the slvatin f hydrphbic chains in water by replacing sme water mlecules in the hydratin shell f the slute (direct-mechanism). phenmenn f micellizatin f surfactants. Kabir-ud-din et. al. (1996) reprted that critical Fendler et. al. (1975) studied that water-alchl surfactant systems are s frequently used as media in the studies f chemical equilibria and reactin rate, it is very essential t investigate the nature f the alkyl grups in the alchl n the CMC f surfactants. Several reviews exist n micellizatin f surfactants in aqueus media were studied by Linfied et. al. (1976). Bahadur et. al. (1982, 1983) studied that micelle frmatin in aqueus slutin is well knwn t be affected by a number f envirnmental factrs such as ph, inic strength, temperature and the presence f inrganic and rganic additives. The micelle frmatin in an aqueus slutin is knwn t be affected by inrganic additives and there have been many investigatins cncerning the effects f rganic additives n the CMC f aninic surfactants. Bahadur et. al. (1998) nticed the effect f rganic additives n the micellar behaviur f inic and nn-inic surfactants in water has been well studies micelle cncentratins (CMC) f inic and nninic surfactants significantly increase with the additin f urea in aqueus slutins. Asakawa et. al. (1995) studied the actin f urea in aqueus slutin shwed that urea had a negligible influence n the water structure. Bahadur et. al. (2003) bserved the effect f plymer as additives n sdium ddecyl sulphate. Abdul- Rahem et. al. (2009) nticed the physichemical prperties f hydrxyl mixed ether HMEn surfactants and their interactin with sdium ddecyl sulphate. Chen et. al. (2009) studied the effect f calcium ins cncentratin n the faming pwer f aninic surfactants. Parekh et. al. (2011) studied that aninic-catinic surfactants systems f sdium ddecyl trixyethylene sulfate with catinic Gemini surfactants. Patel et. al. (2009) bserved that micellizatin f sdium ddecyl sulfate and plyxyethylene ddecyl ether in slutin. Varade et. al (2005) nticed that miceller behaviur f by sme authrs with the utcme that aliphatic mixture f sdium ddecyl sulfate and alchls have been f particular interest. Enea et. al.

2 II. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE A. Materials Extra pure sdium ddecyl sulphate (B.D.H.) after recrystallizatin was used fr the preparatin f ptassium ddecyl sulphate (KDS). Ptassium ddecyl sulphate was prepared by direct metathesis. After recrystallizatin, it was used fr physical prperties. Sdium ddecyl benzene sulphnate was purchased frm Lba Chemie Pvt. Limited, Mumbai, India. Methanl, prpanl and butanl were all B.D.H. Labratry reagent while urea was purchased frm Merck (Merck Schuchardt OHG, Germany). Triple distill water btained frm all pyrex glass assembly was used thrughut studies. B. Measurement Butanl-water mixtures (2.5%) f several cmpsitin f urea ( M) were prepared by mixing requisite quantity f alchl in water. Stck slutin f surfactants was prepared by weighing. The cnductance measurements f surfactant slutins were made by Elic cnductivity meter (Mdel CM-180) at a frequency f 1000 Hz using platinized electrde f knwn cell cnstant. After measuring the cnductivity f slvent, small vlume f the stck slutin fr dilutin was added and the cnductivity nted after each additin and thrugh mixing t a cnstant reading. The cnductivity (κ ) was calculated after applying the slvent crrectin. The CMC values were determined at the breakpint f nearly tw straight line prtin in the Kumar, Yadav, Malik and Malik 44 cnductivity versus cncentratin plts. The CMC f the surfactants in the presence f urea, butanl in water at fixed temperature (35ºC). III. RESULTS The κ values f KDS in pure water at different temperatures (30-45 C) are reprted in Table 1. These values were fund in clse agreement t thse reprted previusly. Als the CMC values btained frm κ vs. C plts in pure water were the same (Table 2) as reprted earlier. The κ values f, NaDS using different cncentratin f urea (0.5- ) in 2.5% butanl-water system at 35 C are reprted in Table 3 respectively. The increase in κ values in presence f urea at fixed temperatures (35ºC) and in butanl-water systems studied may be explained as: 1. Effect f temperature: Increasing inic mbility with increase in temperature. 2. Effect f alkanls: (a) Change in the nature f the slvent. (b) Partitining f alchl between water and micellar phase, the alchl frm mixed micelles with the surfactant by the incrpratin f the hydrcarbn part f the alchl in micelles. (c) Increase in the number f the free cunter ins frm the duble layer. (d) The liberatin f surfactant in frm the micelle.

Urea is suppsed t act as water structure breaker and its derivatives participate in slvatin f hydrphbic chains in water by replacing sme water mlecules in the hydratin shell f the slute.

The mlar cnductance ( Λ M ) calculated frm the cnductivity data f the surfactant slutin, decreases with increasing cncentratin f surfactants (KDS, NaDS and NaDBS). A steep decrease in Λ M values upt M surfactants cncentratin (KDS, NaDS) which afterwards decrease slwly with increasing cncentratin f surfactants. The similar trends were bserved in all the systems. Hwever in NaDBS the steep decrease in Λ M values were nticed at the cncentratin f M. This may be due t the tendency f the surfactants t frm aggregates at higher cncentratins. Hwever, the CMC values culd nt be determined frm the plt f Λ M vs. C (Fig. 2), which are cncave upwards with increasing slpes. The general equatin (1) was used t determine the behaviur f surfactant slutins which hlds gd fr all the system as well as at different temperatures. Lg Λ M = A+ B lgc.(1)

DISCUSSION T Micelle frmatin is assumed t ccur when the energy released as a result f aggregatin f hydrcarbn chain f the mnmers is sufficient t vercme the electric repulsins between inic head grups and t balance the decrease in entrpy accmpanying aggregatin. It has als been nticed (Table 4) that CMC values f KDS, NaDS and NaDBS in the presence f 0.5- urea in 2.5% butanl-water system at 35 C shws a cntinuus increase with increase in cncentratin f urea. The additin f urea t the micellar slutin is well knwn t increase the CMC and is related t the free energy f transfer f an alchl mlecule frm the water t micellar phase. It may be suggested that in the presence f these butanl, the plar grups at the micelles surface wuld lead t reductin f the effect due t repulsin f the charged plar head grups and hence the CMC decreases. The hydrphbic effect assciated with the hydrphbic miety f the alkanl mlecules als favurs micellizatin and will increase as the length f hydrcarbn chain f the alkanl increases. This explains the decreased lwering f the CMC as the number f methylene grup increases in alkanl series. Table 5 reveals that the values f A increase with increasing the f Surfactants in Presence f 0.5 M Urea in 2.5% Butanl- Water System at Different Temperatures. cncentratin f urea (0.5-) in 2.5% butanlwater system. The values f cnstant B were btained frm the slpes f plts f lg Λ Μ vs. lgc fr KDS, NaDS and NaDBS in all the systems, and are reprted in Table 6. The values f B were als fund independent f cncentratin f urea (Table 6) in 2.5% butanl-water system at 35 C fr all the surfactants. V. CONCLUSION In fact the CMC lwering f surfactants by the small additin f alchls may be due t their direct actin n water structure and the subsequent additin may cause secndary effects such as their slubilizatin in micelle and decrease f hydrphbic effect. This further supprts the view that the frmatin f the cavity f mre rdered water mlecules is favred by the lng hydrcarbn chain f the alchls. In the presence f such a cavity, a decrease in CMC is nt unexpected. The rle f water cavity in the micelles frmatin has been further verified by studying the effect f urea n CMC. Urea is a strng water structure breaker in presence f alchls it may destry the cavity f rdered water structure. It is, therefre, expected that the CMC shuld increase with the increase in the cncentratin f urea.

7 These results indicate that the additin f urea results in the breaking f water structure even at the cncentratin f alchls where it is expected t be mre rdered. This partitin f additive between the slutin and the micelles may be sensitive t the structure f the plar third cmpnent and the temperature. REFERENCES [1]. Fendler JH, Fendler EJ.
