Abstract For a sodium salt of α-sulfonatomyristic acid methyl ester (14SFNa), one of the α-SFMe series surfactants, the differential conductivity (∂κ/∂C) T , P vs. square root of concentration (√C) was employed in order to determine not only CMC but also the limiting molar conductance (Λ0) and the molar conductance of micellar species (ΛM). Based on the data of the degree of counterion binding to micelles (β) determined previously at different temperatures ranging 15–50 °C at every 5 °C, the experimental values of the degree of dissociation (ionization) of a micelle (αEX) were calculated by regarding as αEX=1−β. The ratio ΛM/Λ0 corresponding to the ratio of slopes below and above CMC in the curve of specific conductivity (κ) vs. concentration (C), which has been often assumed to be the degree of ionization of micelles (α), was compared with the present αEX. However, the ratio ΛM/Λ0 (=α) was found to have a correlationship with αEX (=1−β) as αEX≈0.40×(ΛM/Λ0), or strictly, αEX=0.40 (ΛM/Λ0)+0.08, indicating that the simple ratio of the slopes below and above CMC in κ vs. C curve is not true for αEX=1−β. On the other hand, the method proposed by Evans gave a value closer to αEX compared with the simple ratio.
