MANY inorganic substances behave as volume active agents when they are dissolved in water. One such substance is potassium hydroxide. Surface tension measurements were made on a series of aqueous solutions of potassium hydroxide ranging in concentration from 6.5 to 41.2 weight per cent potassium hydroxide.
