Above the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the option which correctly describes the variation of molar conductivity with increase in concentration of sodium dodecylsulphate in aqueous solution is
- (a) molar conductivity increases sharply, but the solution does not remain colloidal
- (b) molar conductivity decreases sharply, but the solution remains colloidal
- (c) molar conductivity decreases sharply and dissociation into monomers also occurs sharply
- (d) molar conductivity increases sharply with large loss of entropy The above critical Micelle concentration, the aggregation of molecules takes place to form Micelle resulting in the drastic decrease in molar conductivity. The size of aggregation is still in colloidal range.
