Abstract

Adsorption parameters that enter into the Frumkin isotherm and the model of two parallel capacitors are calculated based on the data of the regression analysis of differential capacitance curves of a mercury electrode in solutions of n-butanol and n-valeric acid at 25, 50, and 75°C. The analysis of the temperature dependences of these parameters allowed free energies, entropies, and enthalpies of adsorption to be found. It is shown that the hydrophobic effect, which is associated with the increase in the enthalpy of liquid water when adsorbate molecules leave it, makes a substantial contribution into the adsorption free energy of studied compounds.
