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.
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.
yes it is lower than the surface tension of water
Soap and detergent are able to clean leather because they contain surfactants that can break down and remove dirt, oil, and other debris from the leather's surface. These surfactants lower the surface tension of the water, allowing it to penetrate the leather and carry away the dirt particles.
Detergents help to remove dirt, grease, and stains from surfaces by breaking down the molecules that hold them together. They contain surfactants that lower the surface tension of water, allowing it to penetrate and lift away grime more effectively.
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.
Laundry detergent contains surfactants that lower the surface tension of water, allowing it to penetrate fabric fibers and lift stains. Enzymes in the detergent break down organic compounds in the stains, while other chemicals help to keep the dirt suspended in the water so it can be rinsed away.
NP9, or nonylphenol ethoxylate, is a surfactant commonly used in liquid detergents. It helps to lower the surface tension of water, allowing the detergent to penetrate and lift away dirt and stains from fabrics more effectively. NP9 also helps to emulsify oils and grease, enhancing the cleaning power of the detergent.
Detergent has both a non-polar end and a polar end. This polar end grabs onto the hydrogen bonds formed by the polar nature of water, and grabs at them more strongly than the water grabs at each other.
To clean a surface, the surface tension of the cleaning agent must be lower than that of the surface. This allows the cleaning solution to spread out and penetrate the surface, lifting away dirt and grime. Lower surface tension helps the cleaning agent to break the bond between the surface and the contaminants, making it easier to clean.
Mixing sea water with detergent can lower its surface tension, allowing it to more effectively clean surfaces by breaking up and removing dirt and grease. However, it can also have negative environmental impacts like harming marine life and disrupting ecosystems.
