Results and discussion

Surface tensionopen allclose all
Surface tension:
58.5 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1.03 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: Surface tension at saturated concentration. The saturated solution was prepared by stirring 103.1 mg of the substance with 100 ml of distilled water.
Surface tension:
51.2 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
0.927 g/L
Remarks on result:
other: Surface tension at 90% saturated concentration. The 90% saturated solution was prepared by stirring 2.02 g of the substance with 100 ml of distilled water and by diluting 45 ml of the resulting supernatant with 5 ml of distilled water.

Determination of the calibration factor φb (test 1):

σ0 = 72.5 mN/m (Krüss Gmbh, at 20.2 °C)

σg = 72.2 mN/m (mean surface tension of double distilled water at 20.0°C)

φb = σ0/ σg = 72.5/72.2 = 1.004

To verify the above result, a 90% saturated solution was tested (test 2)

 

Determination of the calibration factor φb (test 2):

σ0 = 72.7 mN/m (Krüss Gmbh, at 20.2 °C)

σg = 70.4 mN/m (mean surface tension of double distilled water at 20.0°C)

 φb = σ0/ σg = 72.7/70.4 = 1.033
