How is Water's surface tension and heat storage capacity accounted?
Water's surface tension and heat storage capacity is accounted by itsHydrogen Bonds
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
What organelle in a cell at external skin surface withstand friction and tension?
lysosomes
How does surface to volume ratio relate to the size of a cell?
As the cell gets bigger, the surface to volume ratio gets smaller.
What do cohesion surface tension and adhesion all have in common with reference to water?
Hydrogen Bonding
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.
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
What is surface tension coefficient?
define coefficient of surface tension
What liquid have the strongest surface tension?
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
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.
How do you break the surface tension?
Adding surfactants the surface tension decrease.
Does water have the highest surface tension?
No, mercury has a higher surface tension.
Is surface tension a solid liquid or gas?
Surface tension is a characteristic of liquids.
Effect of Temperature on Surface Tension?
surface tension decreases with the increase of temperature
