THE ARCHIMEDES LAW AND ELECTROCAPILLARITY

For an ideally polarizable electrode it is found that among numerous v olume Hansen excesses there exists one which is correlated with the Ar chimedes law and plays the role of the solution volume displaced due t o occurrence of surface layer. This volume excess could be called the Archimedes volume excess or the Archimedes volume of the surface. The Archimedes volume of the surface can be expressed in the form of a par tial thermodynamic derivative
