Abstract
In this paper we propose an analytic expression for surface tension of organic compounds. This new expression, originally derived from the statistical-mechanics is shown to represent the experimental surface tension data of 94 different organic compounds within 1.05 AAD%. We also propose another simpler expression. When this generalized expression is used surface tensions for all the 94 compounds can be predicted within 2.57 AAD% for all temperatures investigated.
