The surface tension of iso-octane at 20 0C is 18,77 dyn/cm.
Glycerol has high surface tension because it has strong intermolecular attraction due to polarity in molecules while hexane is a non polar molecule.
Generally larger molecules with stronger intermolecular forces have higher surface tension. This tendency can be seen if you look at the surface tensions of the alkanes. Water is a clear exeption to this pattern due to the very strong hydrogen bonds.
define coefficient of surface tension
Octane is neither strong nor weak it is a non elecrolyte.
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
Soap breaks the surface tension of water. Pepper will only float where there is strong surface tension.
The reason behind the high surface tension of water is hydrogen bonds. This very strong bond enables small insects to walk on the surface 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.
Soapy water does have some surface tension to it but it is very negligible. However pure water have good surface tension due to strong hydrogen bonding. This is the reason a water strider bug can walk and paperclip will float on water.
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
Glycerol has high surface tension because it has strong intermolecular attraction due to polarity in molecules while hexane is a non polar molecule.
Strong attractive forces (hydrogen bonding) among the water molecules.
Generally larger molecules with stronger intermolecular forces have higher surface tension. This tendency can be seen if you look at the surface tensions of the alkanes. Water is a clear exeption to this pattern due to the very strong hydrogen bonds.
