Chapter 25.4, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The micelle formed by a phosphatidylcholine is to be compared to one formed by a typical fatty acid micelle at pH 7. The most significant difference between their surface properties is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A micelle is a colloidal aggregate formed by the molecules containing a hydrophilic functional group called the head and a hydrophobic part called a tail.

The nature and number of charges on the hydrophilic head determines the size of the hydration sphere and how the molecules are packed.
