25. The reaction mixture becomes deeply turbid and gray just before becoming abruptly transparent when the reaction is finished. This observation can be interpreted by the proposed kinetic model as the formation of the micelle - EC complex (MEC); see also section IV.

29. Experiments show that the influence of stirring affects the induction period but not the shape and the slope of the autocatalytic part of the kinetic curve.
30. int. i.e., the back-reaction of step I, which is reasonable and which has been verified experimentally. We found that small amounts of sodium caprylate slow down significantly the phase separation of an aqueous/EC system. Nevertheless, the formation of [cover] does not change the capacity of the model to describe the experimentally observed kinetics of the overall system and does not improve the fitting of experimental data. For this reason this process has been omitted in Scheme 1.
