Abstract
The dissociation method developed previously is modified to cover the condensation phenomena observed in mobile monolayers. The saturated tension equations are found to depend only on the number of bonds with nearest neighbors, and the mean energy per bond per molecule in the condensed phase. Assuming six bonds with mean energy per bond 3.7×10—14 erg per molecule, good agreement is obtained with the curves published by Adam and Jessop for the fatty acids.
