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.

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
Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
What do you expect to see if the liquid surface tension is less than or equal to the critical surface tension of a surface?
the lack of a surface.
What substance has the largest surface tension at room temperature?
The highest surface tension at 15 0C is the surface tension of mercury: 487 dyn/cm.
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.
Effect of Temperature on Surface Tension?
surface tension decreases with the increase of temperature
What is the effect of increase of temperature on surface tension?
Surface tension decreases as temperature increases.
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.
What effect does soap have on cohesion and surface tension?
it eats it up
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 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 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.
What effect does detergent have on surface tension and Why?
There is an effect on Surface Tension when detergent is put in the water. I am doing an experiment for my upcoming Science fair and i am doing a Detergent Powered Boat/Surface Tension...I have tested it many times with and without detergent, when it doesn't have detergent it floats and then sinks after 5 seconds but with detergent it zips through the water...I can not give you the reason for this as i am myself still researching on why this is!
What reaction produces a floating film on waters surface?
It's not a reaction, it is either the difference in density or the effect of the surface tension of the water
What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension of milk?
since milk has water as a main component, water has surface tension as the forces adhesion( sticks to stuff like the side of the glass) are stronger that the cohesion (makes water keep to itself) forces
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in Liquid
