✦ Synopsis
The dynamics of desorption of a small ion from the liquid-vapor interface of water is calculated using molecular dynamics trajectories and compared with several theoretical models which are based on a one-dimensional diffusion on the potential of mean force. The diffusion model is in reasonable agreement with the trajectory calculations if the exact (molecularly derived) potential of mean force is used. In contrast, the use of an approximate electrostatic model for the potential of mean force underestimates the desorption rate.
