INTERFACIAL PHENOMENA
Interface: The boundary that is forms between two phases, say solid &
liquid is called as interface.
Several types of interface exist depending on whether the two adjacent
phase are in the solid, liquid or gaseous state.
Classification of interfaces
CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
Surface tension:
This term is used to denote an interface when one of the phases
is gas Gas-solid or Gas-liquid interface.
Units: dynes/cm in CGS system and SI system N/m
In a liquid, molecules experience greater attraction from the
neighboring molecules. Intermolecular attractions between like
molecules are called cohesive forces while attractions between
the unlike molecules called adhesive forces.
3 CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
On the other hand, molecules at the surface develop only attractive
cohesive forces with other liquid molecules that are situated below
and adjacent to them.
The net effect is that the molecules at the surface of the liquid
experience an inward force towards the bulk of liquid. Such a force
pull the molecules of the interface together and as a result the surface
contract resulting in surface tension.
Figure.1 represents the unequal attractive force acting on molecules at the surface of a liquid as compared with molecular forces in the bulk of the liquid.
4 CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
Liquid droplets tend to assume spherical shape, since the molecules
on the surface try to contract the surface, there by assuming the
small possible surface area.
Ex: When benzene and water are mixed together they remain
immiscible, form an interface its shows interfacial tension.
Interfacial tension:
Interfacial tension is the force per unit length existing at the interface
between two immiscible liquid phases and like surface tension has
the units of dynes/cm. In SI system N/m

Surface tension versus interfacial tension
*Surface tension is the tension between liquid-vapor
(gas) γ LV and solid-vapor γ SV; they are written γ L and
γ S.
*Interfacial tension is the tension between 2 immiscible
liquids γ LL, 2 solids γ SS or liquid-solid γ LS.

EXAMPLE FOR SUREFACE TENSION MEASUREMENT
8 CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
A soap film is formed over the area of ABCD and can stretched by
applying the force f (such as hanging mass) to the movable bar,
length L, which acts against the surface tension of the soap film.
When the mass is removed, the film will contact owing to its
surface tension.
The surface tension γ of the solution forming the film is then a
function of the force that must be applied to break the film over the
length of the movable bar in contact with the film. Because the
soap film has two liquid–gas interfaces (one above and one below
the plane of the paper), the total length of contact is in fact equal to
twice the length of the bar.
9 CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
Thus,
γ = f/2L……………………………………..Equation -1
Example: Calculating the surface tension of water
If the length of the bar L is 5cm and the mass required to break a
soap film is 0.50g. What is the surface tension of the soap solution
Recall: that the downward force is equal to the mass multiplied by
the acceleration due to gravity, Then,
γ = 0.5g x 981cm/sec2 / 10 cm = 49dynes/cm
10 CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
SURFACE FREE ENERGY To a molecule from the inner layers to the surface work needs to be done against the force of the surface tension.
Each molecule on the near surface of the liquid creates a potential energy (PE) as compared to molecules in the bulk of the liquid.
BECAUSE: SURFACE AREA
Higher the surface area PE EL (energy of liquid)
Lower the surface area PE EL (energy of liquid)
11 CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
To evaluate the amount of work done in increasing the
surface area, we can write Equation-1: f= γ x 2L
Recall from the Figure 1
when bar is at position AD and a mass is added to extend the surface
by a distance ds, the work dW( force multiplied by distance) is
dW= f x ds= γ x 2L x ds ……………………..Equation:2
and, because 2L x ds is equal to the increase in surface area, dA,
produced by extending the soap film,
dW= γ x dA…………………………………..Equation:3
For a finite change:
W= γ∆A:………………………………………Equation:4
W= work done or surface free energy increases expressed in ergs, γ
is the surface tension in dynes/cm and ∆A is the increase in surface
area in cm2

CAUSE OF SURFACE TENSION
Surface tension is caused by the attraction between the liquid's molecules by various intermolecular forces.
Vander walls forces
In the bulk of the liquid: each molecule is pulled equally in all directions by neighboring liquid molecules net force of zero .
CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
14
At the surface of the liquid, molecules are pulled
inwards by other molecules deeper inside the liquid and
are not attracted as intensely by the molecules in the
neighboring medium. i.e.:
They develop attractive cohesive forces with other liquid
molecules situated below & adjacent to them.
They create adhesive forces of attraction with the other
phase involved at the interface.

FACTORS AFFECTING SURFACE TENSION
Temperature
Surface active agents
CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
16
Surface tension of liquids decreases with increase in temperature.
E.g. γ of H2O = 75.6 dynes/cm at 0°C
= 72.8 dynes/cm at 20°C
= 63.5 dynes/cm at 75°C Why?
When temperature increase, The intermolecular cohesion forces decrease and the surface tension decrease.

SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS
By adding surface active agents in water, there is a
decrease in surface tension of water.

Capillary rise method
When a capillary tube is placed in a liquid, the liquid rises
up the tube a certain distance.
Why?
The force of adhesion between the liquid molecules and
the capillary wall is greater than the cohesion between the
liquid molecules. This will cause an upward force on the
liquid at the edges and result in a meniscus which turns
upward.
CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
22
The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact, so
instead of just the edges moving upward, the whole liquid
surface is dragged upward.
*Surface tension, but not interfacial tension, can be
determined by this method

CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
24
1. Capillary rise method (cont.)
Due to surface tension (upward force), the liquid continues to rise in the tube.
Because of the weight of the liquid, the upward movement is balanced by the downward force of gravity.
Upward force = downward force
S.T. x circumference = mass x acceleration due to gravity
2 π r γ = π r2 h p g
γ = ½r h p g

2. Drop weight method or drop number method
A known volume of a liquid is allowed to fall as drops from a dropper or a graduated pipette under the effect of gravity and the No. of drops is counted.
The drop will fall when 2 forces are balanced:
- Force due to surface tension= γ x L
= γ x 2π r
- Gravitational force = m g
γ x 2π r = m g CHAPTER 02 23 June 2012
26
Taking the surface tension of distilled water as standard reference(72.8 dyne/cm at 20°C), the surface tension of other liquids can be calculated:
γ 1 / γ 2 = m1 / m2
γ 1 / γ 2 = V1 p1 / V2 p2
Where, p1/p2 can be disregarded
γ 1 / γ 2 = n2 / n1
Where n2 / n1 are the mean number of drops of two liquids.
