What else can I help you with?
A consequence of the surface tension of water is what?
capillary action is a common consequence of surface tension.
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.
What is a force that acts on particles at a liquids surface?
Surface tension is the force that acts on particles at a liquid's surface. It is caused by the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules, which creates a barrier that resists the penetration of external objects or forces. This force is responsible for phenomena such as capillary action and the formation of droplets.
Why does surface tension and capillary action occur in water?
because of the gravity
When you dissolve something in water does that change its capillary action or surface tension?
yes
How does surface tension work and what are its effects on liquid behavior?
Surface tension is a property of liquids that causes the molecules at the surface to stick together, forming a "skin" on the surface. This creates a barrier that resists external forces, such as gravity or objects placed on the surface. Surface tension affects the behavior of liquids by allowing them to form droplets, support objects on their surface, and exhibit capillary action, where liquids can move against gravity in narrow spaces.
Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
What is the difference between capillary action and surface tension?
surface tension is a product of cohesive forces (eg. water to water forces in a bubble) whereas capillary actionis a product of adhesive forces (eg. water climbing up a thin glass tube)
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in liquids and it is the result of the cohesive forces between the molecules at the surface of the liquid. This creates a "skin" on the surface of the liquid that resists external forces.
Whta is capillary water?
The capillary effect in water is the tendency for water to travel up a surface such as a tube. It does this because water molecules are attracted to each other which also causes the phenomenon called surface tension.
How do you measure surface tension and what methods are commonly used for this measurement?
Surface tension is measured by determining the force required to break the surface of a liquid. Common methods for measuring surface tension include the drop weight method, the capillary rise method, and the maximum bubble pressure method.
Uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid?
