Abstract
SURFACE densities can be determined from the decrease in concentration and the estimated total area of a large amount of bubbles or drops made to pass through a solution1: this method is not accurate since the amount of substance adsorbed by the bubbles or drops is dependent on the hydrodynamics of the system.
