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
What are the factors affecting the surface tension?
The main factor is the strength of cohesion between molecules. For instance, water molecules have a slightly negative and a slightly positive end which makes them stick together like magnets. A molecule with more extreme positive and negative charges would have a stronger surface tension.
What substance lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
A substance that lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction is a catalyst.
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 term describes a substance rhat lowers the amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
This substance is called a catalyst.
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.
What in pops lowers surface tension besides aspartame?
gum Arabic does also
The condition of newborns called respiratory distress syndrome is caused by?
RDS is caused by deficiency of surfactant a substance which lowers surface tension and prevents the alveoli from collapsing. It is common in premature babies.
Why does temperature of water lowers on adding glucose?
It will increase the surface tension of water hence temperature decreases. If you add phenol to water temperature increase as it decreases the surface tension.
How does soap help in cleaning dirty clothes?
a . It lowers the surface tension of the solution or b, it absorbs the dirt.or c. it increases the surface tension of the solution or d. chemicals of soap change

What is the principle of hay's test?
bile salts lowers the surface tension of fluids like urine. sulphur in fluids with specific gravity of 1.020 and below.
Why does a sweet tart make Diet Coke erupt?
Diet Coke erupts when you add sugar to it because the sugar lowers the surface tension in the soda. The bubbles will then be able to break the surface and cause the eruption.
What substance lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
A substance that lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction is a catalyst.
Process to break fat particles into smaller pieces?
emulsification. fats are emulsified by bile, this lowers the surface tension for enzyme lipase to act on it on Ph8.5 to produce fatty acids and glycerol.
What term describes a substance that lowers the energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
This substance is a catalyst.
