This study measured the specific volumes of Ion (II) tetraoxosulphate (V) heptahydrate, chromium (III) tetraoxosulphate (VI) peatadecahydrate, sodium dodecyl sulphate(SIDS). Sodium laurate ,Potassium laurate, decanoic, dodeoanoic, and octadocanoic acids, evaluated the apparent molars volumes, established the extent of the solute-solvent interactions, examined the effect of the presence of some carboxylate head groups and carbon chain length on the specific volumes and provide data thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy , entropy, and free energy changes associated with the viscous flow and the dissolution of the solutes. This was with a view 9to understanding micellar formation and the unit of viscous flow of the solutions.
