INVESTIGATION OF SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS AND OF SURFACE EFFECTS IN A DIFFUSION CELL,

Abstract

The objectives of the work were: (1) to measure the surface tension of phenol-saturated water and watersaturated phenol and to measure the interfacial tension between the two phases; (2) to determine the effectiveness of wetting agents and detergents in reducing the interfacial tension between phenol and water; (3) to determine the effect of uneven water flow to the cell boundary; to determine the effect of the density difference of the liquids; to determine the effect of a wetting agent in the water on diffusion in the cell.
