Abstract
The CMC of calcium caprate in methanol and chloroform was determined from solubility measurements. The viscosity and conductivity results of the solutions of calcium caprate in a mixture of 70% chloroform and 30% propylene glycol(V/V) were explained in terms of well known equations. The value of CMC obtained from viscosity measurements was found to be 0.038M; whereas the conductivity results showed the value of CMC at 0.037M. The conductivity results showed that the soap behaves as a weak electrolyte in these solutions below the CMC.
