In double layers

For example, van den Tempel [35] reports the results shown in Fig. XIV-9 on the effect of electrolyte concentration on flocculation rates of an O/W emulsion. Note that d ln)ldt (equal to k in the simple theory) increases rapidly with ionic strength, presumably due to the decrease in double-layer half-thickness and perhaps also due to some Stem layer adsorption of positive ions. The preexponential factor in Eq. XIV-7, ko = (8kr/3 ), should have the value of about 10 " cm, but at low electrolyte concentration, the values in the figure are smaller by tenfold or a hundredfold. This reduction may be qualitatively ascribed to charged repulsion. 

Tin(II) chlorides are similarly complex (Fig. 10.5). In the gas phase, SnCh forms bent molecules, but the crystalline material (mp 246°, bp 623°) has a layer structure with chains of comer-shared trigonal pyramidal SnClsl groups. The dihydrate also has a 3-coordinated structure with only I of the H2O molecules directly bonded to the Sn (Fig. I0.5c) the neutral aquo complexes are arranged in double layers with the second H2O molecules interleaved between them to form a two-dimensional H-bonded network... 

In double-layer nickel coatings however, a flat-based pit is formed in the nickel coating, giving marked resistance to penetration to the basis metal. Figure 13.8 shows a pit in a double-layer nickel plus chromium coating after 58 months service.

Thus far, Ft has never found a definite position in Ea vs. correlations, more for the uncertainty in the reliability of its pzc than for its work function. On the other hand, Pt is a highly heterogeneous metal and the fact that only polycrystalline surfaces have been used in double-layer studies has not helped remove suspicions. According to Frumkin s data,10,14 the pzc ofpc-Pt is around 0.2 V(SHE) (in acidic solution). If this value is introduced into Fig. 14 (the 0 of pc-Pt is around 5.5 eV),22,65 343,856 865,866 the point of Pt would fall far distant from the line of mercurylike metals and near the line of d-metals.

Clearly, then, the chemical and physical properties of liquid interfaces represent a significant interdisciplinary research area for a broad range of investigators, such as those who have contributed to this book. The chapters are organized into three parts. The first deals with the chemical and physical structure of oil-water interfaces and membrane surfaces. Eighteen chapters present discussion of interfacial potentials, ion solvation, electrostatic instabilities in double layers, theory of adsorption, nonlinear optics, interfacial kinetics, microstructure effects, ultramicroelectrode techniques, catalysis, and extraction. 

As for the thinning of the barrier film in such a case, it can be understood in terms of the effects discussed earlier [cf. Section III(l(ii))], as the relaxation of anodic polarization increases the rate of proton transfer. Thus, the hydration of the outer regions of the film takes place, resulting in double-layer withdrawal and chemical dissolution at the surface.

The results of Figure 2 (and other results (16,19,23) require rethinking as to the role of water in the double layer. It is still not known how much water is present in metal double layers emersed into gas ambient. But we have found in previous work that the amount of water in the emersed double layer on Au does not change with potential (23), and Koetz and Neff found that water was essentially absent in UHV (16) at all measured potentials. Results presented here do not decide the question of how much water is in the double layer in UHV, but they may severely restrict its role. Again, if water dipoles play an important role in double layer formation it is hard to see how their removal could cause a shift in work function which is constant with emersion potential.
