abstract = {The concentration of hydronium and hydroxide at the
water–air interface has been debated for a long time.
Recent evidence from a range of experiments and theoretical
calculations strongly suggests the water surface to be
somewhat acidic. Using novel polarizable models we have
performed potential of mean force calculations of a
hydronium ion, a hydroxide ion and a water molecule in a
water droplet and a water slab and we were able to
rationalize that hydronium, but not hydroxide, is slightly
enriched at the surface for two reasons. First, because the
hydrogen bond acceptance capacity of hydronium is weaker
than water and it is more favorable to have the hydronium
oxygen on the surface. Second, hydroxideions are expelled
from the surface of the droplets, due to the entropy being
lower when a hydroxide ion is hydrated on the surface. As a
result, the water dissociation constant pKw increases
slightly near the surface. The results are corroborated by
calculations of surface tension of NaOH solutions that are
in reasonable agreement with the experiment. The structural
and thermodynamic interpretation of hydronium and hydroxide
hydration provided by these calculations opens the route to
a better understanding of atmospheric and surface
chemistry.},
