The Gibbs isotherm is a relationship in physical chemistry that describes the connection between the surface tension of a liquid and the concentration of solute in the adjacent phase or at the surface. It is derived from the principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics and is particularly useful in understanding the behavior of surfaces and interfaces in systems like solutions, emulsions, and colloids.
