Abstract
THE specific conductivity and pH of sodium laurate solutions have been measured at several temperatures within a concentration-range of 10−1 M−3 × 10−5 M. The apparatus used was a modification of that used by Franks1 for the chromatography of long-chain fatty acids. It enabled a concentrated (10−1 M) soap solution to be diluted continuously with rigorous exclusion of carbon dioxide at all stages, beginning with preparation of the soap.
