Abstract
The thermodynamic functions for the specific adsorption of the iodide ion on mercury have been determined from capacity measurements at 5°C, 25°C and 45°C. The experimental values of the standard electrochemical free energy, enthalphy and entropy of adsorption at zero charge, Δ G 0 I − , Δ H 0 I − , and Δ S 0 I − , are in good agreement with previous values for chloride and thiocyanate ion adsorption. They show that most of the free energy change comes from the entropy change, suggesting that the structural contributions play an important role in the ion-specific adsorption. The thermodynamic functions are compared with the values calculated using the Andersen—Bockris model.
