Procedure

A 7 wt.% ammonium laurate solution was prepared by mixing 0.7 weight part (0.476 mole) of lauric acid with 9.3 weight parts of demineralized water at 50° C. 0.304 Part of a 28 wt.% solution of ammonium hydroxide in water was added slowly with stirring to the water-lauric acid mixture. An ammonium laurate solution formed and was cooled to room temperature. The solution had a 9.8 pH and a 1.43 NH3 /lauric acid molar ratio.
