Abstract: SummaryThere is considerable disagreement over whether the gas/liquid surface of water is positive due to the presence of surface-active hydrogen ions or negative due to the presence of surface-active hydroxyl ions. Much has been written and many experimental and simulation studies have been undertaken. We critically analyze these studies to establish what is known unambiguously and what assumptions underlie these opposite views. The conclusion reached after this examination is that there is much misunderstand… Show more

“…It is commonly argued that it is too implausible for this effect to arise from the presence of contaminants due to the reproducibility of the result. [89,11,101] Indeed, it would be surprising if contaminants are the explanation, but similarly such a large hydroxide adsorption would be equally surprising given the above arguments. In addition, hydrophobic interfaces with no zeta potential have been observed.…”

“…A common explanation is to assert that this adsorption force only acts at very low salt concentration. This argument has been made [2,89] in response to evidence from molecular dynamics simulation that hydroxide is repelled from the air-water interface, because these simulations must necessarily be performed at high-concentration due to system size limitations. In contrast the calculations we have performed here are valid at the infinite dilution limit, so this criticism does not apply.…”

“…Since single ion hydration free energies are not measurable in a condensed phase experiment, proper execution of such a fit requires the use of a number of correction terms. Even the sign of some of the correction terms is being debated. , …”
