Abstract
Measurements have been made of the force-area characteristics, surface potentials and surface viscosities of mixed films of octadecanol and stearic acid spread on M/2000 Calcium chloride. The stearic acid portion of the film reacts to form calcium stearate, the reaction obeying ⅔-order kinetics. The octadecanol behaves practically as an inert diluent. The free energy of activation of viscous flow of calcium stearate is about 25 kcal mole–1.
