Question: Sodium stearate anionic surfactant which forms micelles in oil.
Choose the correct statement for it from the following :
It forms spherical micelles with $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{16}-$ group pointing towards the centre of sphere.
It forms non-spherical micelles with $-\mathrm{COO}^{-}$ group pointing outwards on the surface.
It forms spherical micelles with $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{16}-$ group pointing outwards on the surface of sphere
It forms non-spherical micelles with $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{16}$-group pointing towards the centre.
Correct Option: 1
Solution:
Forms spherical micelles with $\mathrm{CH}_{3}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{16}$ group pointing towards the centre of sphere
