can accept a hydrogen ion and becomes positively charged. The ratio of this type
of cation depends on the association equilibrium constants and pH. At pH 8.3,
only a small amount of betaine becomes positively charged and interacts with
naphthenate to form ion pairs. Hence the optimal dosage is larger than the 1:1
stoichiometry value.
