Surface tension of some non-aqueous salt solutions

Abstract

The surface tensions of methanol, acetone, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, and methylamine over limited temperature ranges, and of solutions of alkali halides in the first three of these liquids at 25 °C have been measured by the method of maximum bubble pressure, with precautions against moisture. The data for the pure liquids are compared with literature data where these exist. The results for the solutions are discussed in the light of various existing theories.
