When water heats up, the movement of its molecules disrupts the imbalanced forces on the surface of the water and weakens its sheet-like barrier of tightly bound molecules, thereby lowering the surface tension.

How does liquid soap affect the surface tension of water?
it affects the surface tension because of its temperture
How does surface tension affect your environment?
Surface tension affects everyone's environment in many ways. Surface tension is the property of water that makes life to exist as we are accustomed. Surface tension also makes our body cells functional.
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 the pH of water remain exactly neutral because of the high surface tension of water?
The pH of water is not related to surface tension.
A consequence of the surface tension of water is what?
capillary action is a common consequence of surface tension.
How does liquid soap affect the surface tension of water?
it affects the surface tension because of its temperture
How do the properties of the water molecule affect surface tension?
The surface tension of water is due to the hydrogen bonds contained in it.When sugar is added to it,the dissolution process occurs which leads to the breaking of the hydrogen bonds in water by the hydration energy generated by the interaction of sugar and water.Therefore sugar reduces the surface tension in water
How does sodium carbonate affect the surface tension of water?
sodium carbonate has quite amount of salt in it. And the salt water is inversely proportional to water containing soap.Hence sodium carbonate affect the surface tension of water rather we say sodium carbonate loss the strength of the surface tension of the water.thanks by,(Arjun Babhulkar)

What is the effect of sodium chloride on the surface tension of water?
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
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 makes a needle to float in water?
Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.
What property of water let's bugs walk on water?
surface tension
Is there a way to increase the surface tension of water?
The surface tension of "pure" water against air at 20 degrees C is 72.75 dynes/cm. This increases with cooling and decreases with heating. Most inorganic solutes increase the surface tension of the solution when dissolved in water. Most mineral acids decrease the surface tension of the solution in water (sulfuric acid is the most obvious exception). Most organic compounds decrease the surface tension of the solution in water (organic acids and alcohols are often exceptions). It is important to note that we are talking about increasing and decreasing the surface tensions of solutions of these things in water with respect to distilled water. In order to change the surface tension of distilled water, just changing the temperature will suffice. PS : At 0 degrees Celsius, the surface tension of water is 75.6 dynes/cm, at 100 degrees it is only 58.9 dynes/cm.
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
How does surface tension of water compare with the surface tension of most other liquid?
The surface tension of water is higher than that of most other liquids. Water has a surface tension of 7.29 * 10-2 J/m2 at 20oC.
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.
