Conductivity, Surface Tension, and Comparative Antibacterial Efficacy Study of Different Brands of Soaps of Nepal

Table 2

Values of premicellar slope (S₁), postmicellar slope (S₂), degree of dissociation (α), critical micelle concentration (CMC), and Gibbs free energy of micellization () of LFBY, NM, OKT, LRL, and LX in aqueous medium at 303.15 K.

Soaps	S1 (mS cm^−1ml·mg^−1)	S2 (mS cm^−1ml·mg^−1)	α	CMC (mg·mL^−1)
LFBY (1)	1.14	0.187	0.164	0.06295	−31.37
NM (2)	1.10	0.194	0.176	0.07174	−30.57
OKT (3)	1.04	0.211	0.203	0.08323	−29.93
LRL (4)	0.658	0.216	0.328	0.09502	−27.28
LX (5)	0.647	0.243	0.376	0.1089	−25.93

The error limits of α, CMC, and are within 4, 4, and 5%, respectively.
