The object of this work was to stu‘v the effect of a potential on liquid-liquid interfaces. Both the crpillary and drop wei 11t methods were used to note the cnanée OI inter- facial tension produced by potentials rwn*ir= fron seven and .cne half volts to several hundred thousand volts. This worx is divided in‘p 0 three parts. The first consists of a study of the e-fect of vary- seatials on different coiceutrations of sodium 0 cats solut.cn aJaiist benzene, mutually saturated with each other and measuring the c11anQe of interfacial tension thus produced. Ine second art is a study of the behavior of difisr- eit or“an c liquifs agains water, nutually saturated with each other, using voltages as hi n as several hundred q thousano volts across the interf: the cafi. llArwr (3 (D H C.)

DESCRIPTION OF APPA ulkTUS AID {A 3”ILLS: The apparatus used in studying the effect of a potential on interfacial tension by the capillary method consisted of tho lar e 3lass tu one lon3 with a diamet er of 2.12 cm., and a short one with a diameter of 2.C3 cn., connected by a capillary of fairly constant bore. The capillary was in an upri3ht pOu‘ ition. When two fairly immiscible liquids were put in the systen, the meniscus was brcu3ht some"here ne ar the center of the capillary. Thrcu3h stOppers at the spe nin3s of the lar3e tubes, adjustable platinum electrodes were placed. Water or aqueous sodium oleate solution was placed in the long lar3e tube and benzene in the short lar3e tube with the meniscus in the capillary. Two motor 3enerators, producin3 direct current, were used, the one producin3 a potential of 110 and 55 volts, the other producin3 a potential of 15 and 7 1/2 volts. A millianeter was pl? ced in series with the capillary apparatus. METHOD OF PP OCEDW 3:- The 3lass capillary apparatus was first thorou3hly cleaned, -Hot cleaning solution was first forced throu3h the capillary. It was then rinsed well and then steazned with live steam for some tine and then dried. The two liquids which were mutually saturated were then placed in the apparatus so that the meniscus between the two liquids was in the capillary. The electrodes were then placed in the two liquids. Because of the alnost per- fect non conductin3 liquid in the short lar3e tube, the platinum electrode was brou3ht close to the meniscus in the capillary and adjusted continually to keep a constant distance between the meniscus and the electrode. Benzene and sodium oleate solution were used with a pot ntial raW in3 f won 7 1/2 volts to 110 volts. CALCULATION OF TITS {FACIAL T3351 N BY THE CAPILLARY ILT TOE. To calculate the correction of levels in the lar3e tubes due to unequal surface tensions, the formula was used- lézsssdsal_2£-§2liali_iiii22§isri - H (1) (Density)(9d1)( )(r ) which reduces to the fornula- Ldynes/cn. of sol'nLLLEl , nsity)(981)(radius) M V H ( The static surfa ace te1sio1 of aqueous solutions of sodium oleate saturated wit h ben ene is found on 3raph (1), and may J be substituted in formula (2), aid the height (H,) due to surface tension of the sodiun oleate solution is found at o 1 ‘I I 1 _ 1 ‘ w. . . . ‘... 20 C.

DISCUSSIONz- According to Ant onow' rule, the interfacial tension between two liquids is equa to the difference of the surface tensions of the two liquids mutually saturated with each other. However, before these unsaturated liquids in ccnoact with each other becone saturated there must be a diffe erent interfacinl tension. It is s: own by the first two rr'xns (315. 516) how the potential no matter which direction it is directed speeds up tne saturation of the wa*3r by the benzene,(the benzene was already saturated with water) and thus lowers the interfacial tension which decrerses the size of the dronland this in turn dwecre+ses sane system exceh ct thet the two liquids are nutuully satur‘ steed with each other. These curves oracticallv coincide A U with each other which Slows that the iotential has no in- H fluence on the interfsci l tensicmi of mutually saturated liquids. The next two curves (315. b 1C) are systens of \C' 0.1% sodium oleate solution a sin C0 t benzene mutually satur- C) etc Q. 21 Ho C—r :3 (D SD SJ other. In the case of the polarity of the sodium olea te so ution bein5 positive and the benzene ne5a- tive, there is a decided difference in the len5th of tine for the drOps to form (avera5in5 about 13 seconds). We d eroect if we consiler the sodium as the pos tive end of the soap mollecule that with this direction of potential there would be a tendency for the soap nollecules to re- orient themselves at 180 to their nornsl orientation in the interface or else there would be a tendency to decrease the concentration of the soap in the interface and thus increase the interfacial tension and thus i;crense the len5th of ,) CO 8X8. 0 tine for a drop to form and this 1 t1? what happens. he ciel tension m nterf Ho sodiun oleate t in about 11.2 dynes per cm. Thus if the volune of the drop is increased about (135/12C) the interfacisl tension is incrensed about 1 1/2 dynes/on. Usin5 this same svstem with the potential reversed the two lines of the 5raph practically coincide, the zero potential line probably bein5 a trifle hi5her. With the 1 potential in this direction sort soap nollecules should be ccncentrrted in the interface and thus the interfaoisl ten- ‘ —. sicn lowered and also the tine 01 drop fornation lowere". dowever, the concentration of soap in the interfece is Very hi5h at C.1§ sodium oleate solution and the few nore that could he crowned into the interface would no hve a A very great effect.

In this 5raph, altnou’n very irre5ular, \J there is a deoilel lowerin5 of the interfacisl tension br 3 the potential.
