Abstract(summary):

The surface tension σ of inorganic electrolyte aqueous solutions at a given concentration c follows the Hofmeister series. The explanation of this phenomenon was sought in the increased adsorption of certain ions due to specific ion-surface interactions. However, the ion-specific dependence of the activity coefficient γ± on c also influences σ, and its contribution to the ion-specificity of σ prevails. Thus, the surface tension of potassium salts follows the order σKOH > σKCl > σKNO3, which turns out to be a direct corollary of the corresponding activity coefficients series: γKOH > γKCl > γKNO3. In fact, the adsorption of at the water surface is lower than that of OH?/sup> and Cl?/sup>! If the bulk ion-specific effects are correctly evaluated, Schmutzer’s classical model predicts accurately the surface tension of a large number of inorganic salt solutions in a wide concentration range, without adjustable parameters. This model accounts for image and hydration forces. Comparison with tensiometric data shows that other ion-surface interactions play a role only in the adsorption of ions of bare radius larger than a threshold value of about 1.95 ? (e.g. HCOO?/sup>, I?/sup>, SCN?/sup>).
