Inhibition of bubble coalescence in aqueous solutions. 1. Electrolytes
The inhibition of bubble coalescence has been studied in dilute 1:1 and 2:1 electrolyte solutions. All electrolytes studied were found to inhibit coalescence, with anions dominating the inhibition at concentrations below 0.01 M and cations dominating the inhibition at higher concentrations.
