How do the properties of the water molecule affect surface tension?

∙ 14y ago
The surface tension of water is due to the hydrogen bonds contained in it.When sugar is added to it,the dissolution process occurs which leads to the breaking of the hydrogen bonds in water by the hydration energy generated by the interaction of sugar and water.Therefore sugar reduces the surface tension in water

How might the size of a molecule affect the way in which an organism obtains the nutrients in that molecules?
The size of a molecule may affect the way in which an organism obtains the nutrients because the larger the molecule you have, the more the element can hold, so that would mean that there would be more nutrients for the organism.
What are the 4 unique properties of water?
The 4 unique properties of water 1) Water is a Versatile Solvent Lipids and Gold cannot dissolve in water. 2) Ice is more dense than liquid water Ex: At 68 degrees F. and 22 degrees Celsius density increases. By 4 degrees Celsius density decreases. Lastly by, 32 degrees F. and 0 degrees Celsius density is at its lowest. Ice: hydrogen bonds are stable=less dense. Liquid Water: hydrogen bonds break and reform= more dense. 3) Cohesion, Adhesion, Surface Tension Cohesion: when water molecules stick to other water molecules. Adhesion: Water molecules stick to other polar surfaces Surface tension: If you dive flat the hydrogen bonds will have an affect on you. If you dive in versus flat then effect won't be as bad. 4) High Specific Heat/ high heat of vaporization - amount of heat required to change the temp by a degree. Effect: water moderates temperature( perspiration or sweating)
Give an example of how a functional group can affect the properties of an organic compound?
An atom or group of atoms which gives the specific properties to an organic compound is a functional group or The active part of an organic molecule involved in a chemical reaction is known as the functional group. Examples are, 1-Alcohol R-OH, 2-Carboxylic acid R-COOH, 3-Ether R-O-R, e.t.c
How does the sequence of nitrogen bases affect the appearance of a molecule of RNA?
It all depends on how the sequence is used and who is using it.
How does vaseline on the lower surfaces of the leaves affect them?
A leaf covered with vaseline on the lower surface wont have any affect as the stomata are being covered with the vaseline but if it were on the upper surface it would shrivel because When a leaf is loosing a lot of water vapor , it exposes the least amount of surface area to evaporation so it shrivels.
How does temperature affect surface tension?
As the temperature rises, surface tension decreases.
How does liquid soap affect the surface tension of water?
it affects the surface tension because of its temperture
What can the shape of molecule affect?
The molecule's function and chemical and physical properties
How does a shape of a molecule affect its function?
The correct answer is: The shape of a molecule determines its properties and interactions.
How does the structure of a water molecule affect its properties?
Because the water molecule is bent, it is polar
How does the shape of a molecule affect the function?
The correct answer is: The shape of a molecule determines its properties and interactions.
How does surface tension affect your environment?
Surface tension affects everyone's environment in many ways. Surface tension is the property of water that makes life to exist as we are accustomed. Surface tension also makes our body cells functional.
What might affect the size of a drop?
Surface tension
What might affect size of a drop?
Surface tension
Why do solutes affect surface tension?
bull crap
How does soap affect the waters tension surface?
It reduces it, allowing the water to wet smaller objects. (Note : one end of soap [molecule] is polar while the other end is not.)
How does the shape of a molecule affect it's function?
The correct answer is: The shape of a molecule determines its properties and interactions.
