With dodecane above water, we note that the concentration of DDA (𝐶 𝐷𝐷𝐴 𝑜𝑖𝑙 ) initially increases with time as the surfactant diffuses from the salt solution to dodecane. While 𝐶 𝐷𝐷𝐴 𝑜𝑖𝑙 increases, the concengration of DDA (𝐶 𝐷𝐷𝐴 𝐴𝑞 ) decreases in the aqueous phase (Figure ). Upon reaching the optimal values in the organic and aqueous phases, 𝐶 𝐷𝐷𝐴 𝑜𝑖𝑙 decreases with a concomittant increase of 𝐶 𝐷𝐷𝐴 𝐴𝑞 . This observation coupled with the concomittant increase of concentration of oil in the aqueous phase (𝐶 𝑜𝑖𝑙 𝐴𝑞 ) indicate that oil-in-water emulsions are formed in the aqueous phase during this time. At the longer time, these emulsions appear to break down as evident from the decrease of 𝐶 𝑜𝑖𝑙 𝐴𝑞 while DDA is pseudo-equilibrated in the two phases, when 𝐶 𝐷𝐷𝐴 𝑜𝑖𝑙 becomes comparable to 𝐶 𝐷𝐷𝐴 𝐴𝑞 . While the results reported in Figure correspond to a window of five days, the concentrations continued to evolve and fluctuate beyond beyond that (Figure , Suppleentary Materials). Anlysis of the long term result is, however, compicated as the kinetics at the late stage is is influenced by Ostwald ripening and fusion induced aging of the emulsion droplets.
