This study explores the micellar characteristics of manganese soaps specifically manganese butyrate and manganese caprylate in a mixed solvent system composed of equal volumes of benzene and methanol (50:50 v/v). Conductometric methods were applied to evaluate specific conductance, critical micelle concentration (CMC), molar conductance, degree of ionization, and ionization constants. The results indicate that CMC values decrease with increasing fatty acid chain length, confirming micelle formation at higher concentrations. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of soap micellization behavior, ionic dissociation trends, and associated thermodynamic properties.
