We present a simple model of single chain, non-ionic surfactant adsorption at gas/liquid interface. Our model takes explicitly into account the effect of conformations the surfactant hydrocarbon chains can assume at the interface. We applied our model for the description of a dependence of surface tension on solution concentration of homologous series of n-alkanols. Aliphatic alcohols with the chain length from four to ten carbon atoms were studied. We found that our model correctly describes experimental data and predicts a distribution of chain conformation at the interface for all n-alkanols studied. We detected small but distinct even-odd effect in the distribution of conformations.
