Summary
Measurements of the time of setting of several alkali soap gels in pinene under different conditions show that they behave like organic gels; the time of setting increases with increase in temperature, and decreases with creasing concentration. The plots of logt≈1/T are straight lines, suggesting that Arrhenius’s equation is applicable to these systems; the values of the Heat of Activation have been calculated for each system. Setting points have also been measured. Molecular weight determinations show that a solution of either soap in pinene is a true solution at its boiling point.
