Motion and dissolution of drops of sparingly soluble alcohols on water

The dissolution of liquids with low mutual solubility is typically slow. However, drops of sparingly soluble, low-density, low-surface-tension liquids often dissolve rapidly on water due to surface tension instabilities and gradients. We report observations of the motion and dissolution of drops of...

520 |a The dissolution of liquids with low mutual solubility is typically slow. However, drops of sparingly soluble, low-density, low-surface-tension liquids often dissolve rapidly on water due to surface tension instabilities and gradients. We report observations of the motion and dissolution of drops of aliphatic alcohols of a wide range of alkyl chain lengths as they dissolve in water. The alcohol drops are rendered visible by adding small amounts of iodine or other dyes. These drops display dewetting instabilities, fragmentation, fingering, and oscillation. As the length of the alcohol carbon chain increases from n = 4 to n = 9, dissolution slows dramatically. The roles of alcohol solubility and water surface area in promoting rapid dissolution are discussed
