    Study Notes

    Surface Charges and Surfactants

    • Possible origins of surface charges on materials immersed in an aqueous solution include dissociation of ionizable groups, adsorption of ions, and rearrangement of electrons
    • Surface-active agents or surfactants are molecules that reduce the surface tension of a solution, increasing the contact between the solution and another phase

    Interfaces in Nature

    • The five main interfaces identified in nature are solid-gas, solid-liquid, liquid-gas, liquid-liquid, and solid-solid interfaces

    Surface Tension and Adsorption

    • The thermodynamic relation between the extent of adsorption and the change in the surface tension of the solution is known as the Gibbs adsorption equation
    • The extent of adsorption is directly related to the change in surface tension, with increased adsorption resulting in decreased surface tension

    Thermodynamic State of the Surface

    • The surface of a liquid is in a higher energy state compared to the bulk of the liquid, due to the presence of unsatisfied bonds and electrostatic forces

    Causes of Surface Charges

    • Possible causes of surface charges on materials immersed in an aqueous solution include electrostatic interactions, molecular interactions, and chemical reactions
    • Ionization of surface groups, adsorption of ions, and changes in the electronic configuration of the surface are NOT the only possible causes of surface charges on materials immersed in an aqueous solution
