ion of solvent can be reduce by a solute, the coion of solvent can be reduce by a solute, the concentration of surface solute is bigger than intncentration of surface solute is bigger than interior, contrarily, if a solute make surface tensierior, contrarily, if a solute make surface tension of solvent increase, the concentration of suon of solvent increase, the concentration of surface solute is lower than interior.rface solute is lower than interior.

The phenomenon that concentration of solute in exterior and interior are not identical is called surface absorption. Among them, there are a well-known equation Gibbs isotherm we find:

where Γ is the surface absorption

quantity; T, C, and R are, respectively,thermodynamics temperature, concentration, and gas constant.

Measurements have shown that in dilute solutiMeasurements have shown that in dilute solution the surface tension increases linearly with con the surface tension increases linearly with concentration. Draw a graph of surface tension oncentration. Draw a graph of surface tension toward concentration. Make tangent to an arbitoward concentration. Make tangent to an arbitrarily point on the curve and the corresponditrarily point on the curve and the corresponding slope σ/dci. Then figure out all the valves of ng slope σ/dci.

3. The biggest vacuole pressure 3. The biggest vacuole pressure Fill liquid in a measuring tube until the liquid Fill liquid in a measuring tube until the liquid

level outside is at or slightly above the zero level outside is at or slightly above the zero point of the capillary tube. The liquid level ipoint of the capillary tube. The liquid level inside the capillary tube would rise. Start thnside the capillary tube would rise. Start the pump and there is a pressure degression ie pump and there is a pressure degression in the measuring tube. n the measuring tube.

For the pressure dispatch among the measuring tube and capillary, liquid level in the capillary tube would be pressed down to nozzle and air bubble is shaped. Curvature radius of the air bubble increases until it is equal to radius of capillary tube. According to the Laplace formulae, the maximal pressure dispatch the air bubble endure can be expressed:

also, it can be expressed by the high dispatch in the U manometer：

pma x=gh

K’, apparatus constant, can be determined base on known surface tension. (Surface tension of water and ethanol liquor can be looked up on appendix)
