What is the amount of phase α & β in a conc profile?

A

n1α = Vαciα

n1β = Vβciβ

These come from integral beneath conc profile

109
Q

How is the Gibbs dividing surface nσ=0 ?

A

Over and underestimates the curve by the same amount so interface is 0

110
Q

What are the different types of adsoprtion?

A

Positive - surfactants wants to be at interface more than bulk

Negative - surfactant does not want to be at the surface

111
Q

What are the different types of adsoprtion?

A

Positive - surfactants wants to be at interface more than bulk

Negative - surfactant does not want to be at the surface

112
Q

What is the surface-excess conc, Γ?

A

Γi1 = niσ

this is for solvent - component 1

113
Q

What is the surface xs conc of positive and negative adsorption?

A
114
Q

What is dA of a surface?

A

dAσ = -SσdT + Σμidniσ + γdσ

115
Q

What is dγ, the surface analogue of Gibbs-Duhem?

A

dγ = -(Sσ/σ)dT - Σ (niσ/σ) dμ

Where the sum is from i to c

SσdT + Σμidniσ + γdσ

116
Q

What is the gibbs adsorption equation?

A

dγ = - Σ Γi1i

117
Q

What is the Gibbs adsorption equation for ideal binary solutions?

A

Sub in μ2 = μ2θ + RTlnc2
Into following equation: dγ = - Σ Γi1i

Gives dγ = - RTΓ21 dlnc2

Surface tension therefore a function of conc c2
