Can you tell me what surface tension is?
i Think surface tension is the tightness of the surface water caused bypolar energy pulling itself together
What state of matter has surface tension?
Liquid.
Did Benjamin Franklin discover surface tension?
no
What is the difference between surface tension and interfacial tension?
interfacial tensions are similar to surface tensions in which cohesive forces are also involved but the major forces are adhesive forces (tension) between liquid phase of one substance and either solid liquid or gas phase of another substance and interaction occurs at their surfaces
Why do bubbles from a coke go away when you stick your finger in the glass?
Oils on your hand reduce the surface tension causing the bubbles to pop
What is the value of surface tension of glycerol solution?
It is calculated to be 0.073N/m at room temperature 21'C.
Why does low-surface-tension-liquids-clean-better than high-surface-tension-liquids?
Low surface tension means high wetting as it represents low contact angle. It is therefore very easy for a low surface tension water / liquid to wet the surface ( usually solid) and get rid of the dirty in a same way a surfactant does unlike a high surface tension liquid which can't wett the surface containing the dirty....

Does water have a relatively high or low surface tension?
MERCURY has a higher surface tension than water. This highest surface tension between liquids is 487 mN/m at 15 0C.
Does orange juice have the same surface tension as gasoline?
no because gasoline comes out in flat droplets and orange juice comes out in beads of liquid
Does water have a low surface tension?
Water has a relatively high surface tension compared to other liquids, due to hydrogen bonding.
Why does water have a low viscosity?
it because water has a light surface tension
What is wetting in dentistry?
It has to do with adhesion in dentistry. Wetting depends on the surface property and surface tension. Wetting also is a qualitative description of contact angle. When you have a high surface tension you have low wetability, a large contact angle and low surface energy. And the opposite for a low surface tension. When two objects are very different in their energies you have less wetting such as water and wax. If metal is the solid (metal has a high surface energy) then wetting is increased.
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.
Do liquids that have higher tension produce drops that are flatter or more nearly sperical ttan liquids with lowersurface tension?
Surface tension causes molecules to hold to themselves more tightly. Therefore high surface tension liquids, like pure water, will form a taller drop and low surface tension substances, like oil, will spread out and be flat.
Types of penetrating liquid used in liquid penetrant test?
Low molecular weight hydrocarbons - anything with a very low surface energy/contact angle/surface tension.
Which liquid has the lowest surface tension?
if you are doing a science project......you might wanna try diffrent liquids on the effect of (surface tension).... milk water juice paperclip water is best for the atraction of ST. milk and the juice is what reduces ST the best The body contains a natural surface tension reducing substance called surfactant.It is found in the lungs and prevents the lungs from collapsing due to surface tension when you exhale
Why does water bead up on a waxed car but gasoline spreads out?
A waxed car is not hydrophilic, it is not wetted with water. A drop of water falling on such a surface does not speak out wetting the surface. Instead the surface tension of the water drop pulls it into a spherical shape that sits on top of the surface until it either slides off or evaporates.
