Abstract:The development of the neutralization reaction in a stationary droplet of cylindrical shape, extracting a surfactant from the surrounding mixture in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell, was studied experimentally. In our experiment, we used a new method of the simultaneous visualization of the refractive index field of light and the distribution of acidity levels in the solutions of source reactants and reaction products within the droplet. To carry out this approach, we utilized a Fizeau interferometer and added a pH i… Show more
