It would appear that the more general question of various organic molecules affecting the surface tension of water was something known to the ancient Greeks and Romans.Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) wrote of divers adding oil to water to make it easier to see to the bottom. However, the first person to try to put things on an experimental footing was none other than Benjamin Franklin. He studied the effects of oil in smoothing wind ripples on pond and began the investigations of the effect of organic substances on surface tension.
However, with regard to soap, it would appear that the first person to study this scientifically was Agnes Pockels(1862-1935). She was an "amateur" German scientist.
surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together surface tension is the result of cohesion which holds liquids together
The surface tension is primarily due to the arrangement of electrons of the molecules that comprise the liquid.
Surface tension.
Kites are used in fishing for Bill Fish, by suspending a bait on the surface of the water. the kite is let out on it's own line. the bait is attached to the kite by a tension release clip. When the fish strikes the bait it pulls the fishing line from the tension clip.
Plates under the ground rub against each other creating friction and therefore raise and crack the surface.
Surface tension was discovered in 1836 by Joseph Plateau (1801-1883), professor of physics at Ghent University, Belgium
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
Surface tension is found in Liquid
define coefficient of surface tension
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
Adding surfactants the surface tension decrease.
No, mercury has a higher surface tension.
Surface tension is a characteristic of liquids.
surface tension decreases with the increase of temperature
As the temperature rises, surface tension decreases.
