%X Interfacial tension values occurring during the transfer of oleic acid from paraffin oil to aqueous alkali have been determined by the sessile-drop method.   It is postulated that the ease of emulsification observed with these systems arises from the nature of the changes In interfacial tension associated with the transfer.
