Surface tension of water on adding detergent?
Well If you have a pie pan filled with milk and then drop 4 diffrent colors of food coloring droped in but not touching then get a tooth pick with detergent on it and touch it in the foodcoloring will swirl out like tie die in the pan.
What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension?
Detergent has the effect of reducing the size of the water molecules thereby reducing the surface tension of the water. This allows for the small water molecules to integrate themselves farther into fabric to remove contaminants.
What is the function of detergent?
Detergents are surfactants, meaning that they lower the surface tension of liquids. This helps them clean materials and remove stains.
Does gasoline have a low surface tension?
yes it is lower than the surface tension of water
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
What are compounds that lower the surface tension of water?
Unit cells
What is the effect of pH on surface tension?
For most liquids, an increase in pH results in decreased surface tension. This has been attributed to lower attraction force between molecules when pH rises.
Surface tension of water at different temperatures?
Surface tension of water decreases as temperature increases. At lower temperatures, water molecules are more closely packed, leading to stronger intermolecular forces and higher surface tension. As temperature rises, water molecules gain kinetic energy and move more freely, causing weaker intermolecuar attractions and lower 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.
Why did heating the water affect the surface tension?
Surface tension is lower at higher temperatures.
Why does acetone have a lower surface tension than water?
water is more polar than acetone
When using dish detergent is water considered an acid?
No. Detergents and soaps are generally alkaline, or base as opposed to acidic. But even more significant, detergents are in a class called, surfactants, meaning that they lower the surface tension of water, causing it to be able to penetrate and loosen contaminants.
