A Study of the Surface Excess Concentrations of Some Surfactants in an Aqueous Medium.
April 8, 2024
Surface tension is the tendency of a liquid to resist surface penetration. The values of the surface tension of Ethane-1, 2-diol, 2-Aminoethan-1-o1 and Ethane-1, 2-diamine were determined in this work by the capillary-liquid rise method in aqueous solution as the solvent. The values of the surface excess concentration were obtained
