At the Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) the surfactant molecules

A

decompose

B

dissociate

C

associate

D

becomecompletelysoluble

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The critical micelle concentration is the lowest concentration at which micelle formation appears. When surfactants are present above that CMC, they can act as emulsifiers that will solubilise a compound which is normally insoluble in the solvent being used.

Assertion:Micelles are formed by surfactant molecules above the critical miceller concentration (CMC). Reason: The conductivity of a solution having sufficient molecules decreases sharply at the CMC.

Pick out the wrong statement: Micelles are formed by surfactant molecules above the CMC, The conductivity of a solution having surfactant molecules decreases sharply at the CMC, Lower is the CMC of detergent, more is its detergency, Cleansing action is not related to micelle.
