In general, for soaps, the concentration of surfactant at CMC is around \(\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1}\).

  1. A \(10^{-4}\) to \(10^{-3}\)
  2. B \(10^{-4}\) to \(10^{-1}\)
  3. C \(10^{-7}\) to \(10^{-4}\)
  4. D \(10^{-4}\) to \(10^{+2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10^{-4}\) to \(10^{-3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

CMC is defined as concentration of surfactants above which micelles form and all additional surfactants added to the system will form micelles. Concentration of surfactant is nearly \(10^{-4}\) to \(10^{-3} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}\) at CMC. CMC depends on temperature,…
