How do different materials dissolved in water affect the surface tension of the water?

what types of materials? Dish soap and vegetable oil, I know for a fact, don't dissolve and separate the hydrogen bonds, causing a weaker surface tension. Salt does little to nothing (according to my chem and bio teacher). Sorry if any of this is wrong or not what you wanted.

What is surface tension in hydrocarbons?
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
How dissolved substances affects surface tension?
the sodium chloride (salt) easily dissolves and divides into separate ions causing the surface tension to rise slightly.
Wetting agent suspending agent?
a chemical agent capable of reducing the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved (source:dictionary online)
What are the application of surface tension in life?
They use it to take out harmful substances in a drug.
What is surface tension coefficient?
define coefficient of surface tension
What are surfactants?
A substance that tends to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved.
Effect of impurities on surface tension of liqiud?
yes The presence of impurities either on the surface or dissolved in it, affect surface tension of the liquid. Highly soluble substances increase the surface tension of water, whereas sparingly soluble substances reduce the surface tension of water. The surface tension of a liquid decreases with increase in temperature. The surface tension of a liquid becomes zero at its boiling point and vanishes at critical temperature.
What types of materials are used to reduce surface tension?
Surfactants, which are usually amphiphilic molecules, are used to reduce surface tension.
What is surface tension in hydrocarbons?
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
How dissolved substances affects surface tension?
the sodium chloride (salt) easily dissolves and divides into separate ions causing the surface tension to rise slightly.
What is wetting agents?
a chemical agent capable of reducing the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved (source:dictionary online)
Surface tension of water at different temperatures?

What is the difference between biosurfactant and bioflocculants?
bioflocculants flocculate organic materials while biosurfactants reduce surface tension of organic materials
What are the application of surface tension in life?
They use it to take out harmful substances in a drug.
What is a force that acts on particles at a liquids surface?
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in Liquid
