Abstract
The adsorption of L(+)-ascorbic acid on mercury in aqueous solutions of 10 −2 M HClO 4 has been determined from electrocapillary and capacity measurements. The maximum adsorption occurs at a charge of +2 μC cm −2 . A Frumkin isotherm is obeyed. The standard Gibbs energy of adsorption is a quadratic function of the surface charge and the Δ G o value at zero charge is −24.9 kJ mol −1 . The most probable model for the adsorption layer is that of two capacitors in series. The orientation of the organic molecule in the interface is discussed.
