Adsorption surface tension-concentration trends

Adsorption theories, two-dimensional equations of state and surface tension-concentration trends a clear relationship... 

It follows from [4.6.8ff] that the Interfacicd excess entropy cem in principle be obtained from the temperature dependence of the surface tension. Such experiments require some scrutiny both technically (how to prevent evaporation ) and interpretationally (now to account for the temperature coefficients of chemical potentials at fixed concentrations ). Detailed studies are welcome. However, one striking trend may be mentioned ). Adsorption of (at least some) non-ionics is accompanied by an increase of entropy, whereas for the cationic Cj TMA Br" a decrease is observed. Again, more systematic study seems appropriate, before... 

When water soluble surfactants adsorb at the interface between a liquid hydrocarbon and water, the trends in adsorption are very similar to those established for the air - solution interface (see Chapter II). The Traube rule remains valid, and the dependence of the surface tension on concentration can be described by Szyszkowski s equation (11.18). Moreover, at identical surfactant concentrations, the absolute values by which the surface tension is lowered at water - air and water - hydrocarbon interfaces are not that different. The surface tension isotherms for these interfaces are parallel to each other (Fig. III-6). That is due to the fact that the work of adsorption per CH2 group, given by eq. (II. 14), is determined mostly by the change in the standard part of the chemical potential of the solution bulk, q0. Similar to the air-water interface, the energy of surfactant adsorption from an aqueous solution at an...
