Abstract
The uptake of water vapor by various organic aerosols is important in a number of applications ranging from medical delivery of pharmaceutical aerosols to cloud formation in the atmosphere. The coefficient that describes the probability that the impinging gas-phase molecule sticks to the surface of interest is called the mass accommodation coefficient, αM. Despite the importance of this coefficient for the description of water uptake kinetics, accurate values are still lacking for many systems. In this Feature Article, we present various experimental techniques that have been evoked in the literature to study the interfacial transport of water and discuss the corresponding strengths and limitations. This includes our recently developed technique called photothermal single-particle spectroscopy (PSPS). The PSPS technique allows for a retrieval of αM values from three independent, yet simultaneous measurements operating close to equilibrium, providing a robust assessment of interfacial mass transport. We review the currently available data for αM for water on various organics and discuss the few studies that address the temperature and relative humidity dependence of αM for water on organics. The knowledge of the latter, for example, is crucial to assess the water uptake kinetics of organic aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere. Finally, we argue that PSPS might also be a viable method to better restrict the αM value for water on liquid water.

Abstract
![]()
We compare and contrast measurements of the mass accommodation
coefficient of water on a water surface made using ensemble and single
particle techniques under conditions of supersaturation and subsaturation,
respectively. In particular, we consider measurements made using an
expansion chamber, a continuous flow streamwise thermal gradient cloud
condensation nuclei chamber, the Leipzig Aerosol Cloud Interaction
Simulator, aerosol optical tweezers, and electrodynamic balances.
Although this assessment is not intended to be comprehensive, these
five techniques are complementary in their approach and give values
that span the range from near 0.1 to 1.0 for the mass accommodation
coefficient. We use the same semianalytical treatment to assess the
sensitivities of the measurements made by the various techniques to
thermophysical quantities (diffusion constants, thermal conductivities,
saturation pressure of water, latent heat, and solution density) and
experimental parameters (saturation value and temperature). This represents
the first effort to assess and compare measurements made by different
techniques to attempt to reduce the uncertainty in the value of the
mass accommodation coefficient. Broadly, we show that the measurements
are consistent within the uncertainties inherent to the thermophysical
and experimental parameters and that the value of the mass accommodation
coefficient should be considered to be larger than 0.5. Accurate control
and measurement of the saturation ratio is shown to be critical for
a successful investigation of the surface transport kinetics during
condensation/evaporation. This invariably requires accurate knowledge
of the partial pressure of water, the system temperature, the droplet
curvature and the saturation pressure of water. Further, the importance
of including and quantifying the transport of heat in interpreting
droplet measurements is highlighted; the particular issues associated
with interpreting measurements of condensation/evaporation rates with
varying pressure are discussed, measurements that are important for
resolving the relative importance of gas diffusional transport and
surface kinetics.
