Micellar relative molar mass

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-007292

The molar mass of a micelle divided by the molar mass constant, which makes it a dimensionless number. It equals the aggregation number times the relative molar mass of the surfactant, and for a neutral micelle the mass of the counterions is included. Static light scattering is a common way to measure it.
