Commonly, the surface excess is determined from surface tension measurements via the Gibbs equation. This equation relates the activity ( chemical potential), the surface excess, and the surface tension. When knowing two out of the three quantities, the third one can be calculated. Unfortunately, in the case of surface active components the concentration is in most cases too low to determine the activity from a measurable change in the bulk properties and thus assumptions are made about the activity coefficients. However, if the surface excess is measured directly and the surface tension is known, the activity can be determined making use of the Gibbs equation. The surface excess is the quantity of a surfactant solution which changes most strongly with the concentration. Thus it is obvious that this procedure should be used to determine activity coefficients of surfactants. One of the few techniques for determining the surface excess directly is neutral impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy (NICISS). With NICISS concentration depth profiles can be measured in the surface near region with a depth resolution of a few angstroms. The surface excess and the activities are investigated here for the system tetrabutylphosphonium bromide (Bu4PBr) dissolved in the polar solvent formamide.
