The effect of the addition of 2-methoxyethanol on the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and on the degree of counterion dissociation (alpha) of butanediyl-1,4-bis(tetradecyldimethylammonium bromide) gemini surfactant, [C14H29N+(CH3)(2)-(CH2)(4)-N+(CH3)(2)C14H29,2Br(-)] (referred as 14-4-14,2Br(-)), has been studied by varying the compositions of the 2-methoxyethanol + water mixed solvent media (0 to 50 %). To determine various thermodynamic parameters of micellization, on the basis of the mass-action model for micelle formation, the experiments were performed at selected compositions of the mixed solvent at four temperatures ranging between 25 A degrees C and 50 A degrees C. Furthermore, the air/bulk surface tensions of the pure and mixed media were determined, and a successful attempt was made to correlate the cohesive energy density described through the Gordon parameter with the values of Gibbs energy of micellization.
