How does soap effects the surface tension if water?
the surface tension has bonds, and the soap breaks those bonds, so if the soap water is put onto a surface.. it will slip off
Why does dawn dish soap repel pepper?
Soap breaks the surface tension of water. Pepper will only float where there is strong surface tension.
Why does soap reduce the surface tension of water?
Soap will lower the surface tension of water. Like any surfactant soap will lower the surface energy by disrupting the strong inter-molecular hydrogen bonding that confers such a strong surface tension to water.
How does liquid soap affect the surface tension of water?
it affects the surface tension because of its temperture
What liquid can break surface tension?
Soap, detergents.
Why does the pepper run away when soap is added?
Soap disrupts the surface tension of water. So if you have fine particles floating in water (I personally use parsley flakes, which float better than pepper does) and you put a tiny trace of soap on your finger, and then touch the water, it breaks the surface tension at that point - but the surface tension of the water on the OTHER side of the flake is unchanged. The surface tension pulls the flakes away from the soap. So the flakes aren't running away - they are being released from the surface tension!
What effect does soap have on cohesion and surface tension?
it eats it up
How does soap help in cleaning dirty clothes?
a . It lowers the surface tension of the solution or b, it absorbs the dirt.or c. it increases the surface tension of the solution or d. chemicals of soap change
Which has more surface tension clean water or soapy water?
Yes, pure water is a one molecule based structure, which hold together better than a mixture. When soap or other chemical is added, it breaks surface tension by getting in the way of each water molecule. Try putting water drops on a penny to build a bubble, then add a small drop of soap to it, you'll see that when soap is added, the water bubble collapses.
True or false Addition of a detergent to water increases the surface tension of the water?
False. When detergent or soap is added to water then it surface tension decreases.
How doe soap make it possible for water and oil to mix?
The chemical properties in soap break apart the surface tension of water which doesn't allow water and oil to mix. When you add the soap, the two liquids mix homogeneously.
Why does whole milk react with hand soap?
The soap reduces the surface tension oof the milk by dissolving the fat molecules :]
