Abstract

The interaction of an anionic dye (Methyl Orange) with cationic surfactant (Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide, CTAB) in the series of solvent containing variable compositions of methanol-water mixture (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) was studied at room temperature (31±2oC). Conductivity measurements were done for the investigation of interaction of dyes. The specific conductance of 6.58x10-5 M to 59.22x10-5M surfactant (CTAB) and these surfactants with 1.008x10-3M dye (MO) mixtures were noted at room temperature. A theoretical model was used to calculate conductance ratio from the data of measured specific conductance values. Values of conductance ratio of CTAB-MO mixtures were found to be all less than 1 which indicated that CTAB-MO dye -surfactant mixture exert significant influence on the degree of interaction.
