Abstract

A STUDY has been made of the effect of low concentrations of n-aliphatic alcohols on the interfacial tension of water against hexane and octane. For this purpose an apparatus was designed, based on the drop-volume method, which allowed the interfacial tension to be measured with an accuracy of 0.04 dyne cm.−1in rigorously purified systems. Determinations were carried out at 10°, 25° and 40° C.
