Modelling the cloud condensation nucleus activity of organic acids on the basis of surface tension and osmolality measurements

In this study vapour pressure osmometry was used to determine water activity in the solutions of organic acids. The surface tension of the solutions was also monitored in parallel and then Köhler curves were calculated for nine organic acids (oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, maleic, mali...
