Question 49

Sodium stearate CH$$_3$$CH$$_{2_{16}}$$COO$$^-$$Na$$^+$$ is an anionic surfactant which forms micelles in oil. Choose the correct statement for it from the following:

At critical micelle concentration, the anions are pulled into the bulk of the solution and aggregate to form a spherical shape with their hydrocarbon chains pointing towards the centre of the sphere, while the $$\mathrm{COO^-}$$ part remains outward on the surface of the sphere.

An aggregate thus formed is known as an ionic micelle.
