High-frequency Conductivity of Paraffin-chain Salts

Abstract

SOME years ago, Schmid and Larsen1 published the results of an experimental study of the electrical conductivity at high frequencies (15 and 25 Mc./s.) of aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulphate and cetylpyridinium chloride. Recently we have reinvestigated these salts, at the same temperature (25° C.), over wider ranges of frequency and concentration. From the accompanying diagram it is evident that discrepancies exist between the new results and those obtained in the earlier work.
