On the evaporation of small ions from charged droplets
Abstract
Experiments are briefly reported which show that small ions separate or ’’evaporate’’ from evaporating droplets carrying electrical charges. A theoretical argument is developed to find in which conditions this ion evaporation can occur; to that end solvation free enthalpies of cluster ions are derived from existing experimental data and the absolute reaction rate theory is applied. The conditions for ion evaporation are compared with those for Rayleigh instability and it is shown that the first process should occur only when the drop reaches sizes of the order of 10−6 cm. The ion evaporation process must be operative in the evaporation of highly electrified cloud droplets when their solute concentration is low.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
