As the strength of intermolecular forces(IMFs) increases, vapor pressure decreases. This is because when IMFs are stronger it is harder for the compound to go to the gas phase, this means that the pressure the compound is exerting on the surrounding environment is lower.

How does liquid soap affect the surface tension of water?
it affects the surface tension because of its temperture
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.
Why do solutes affect surface tension?
bull crap
Why did heating the water affect the surface tension?
Surface tension is lower at higher temperatures.
How does surface tension and viscosity affect the flow of liquids?
Viscosity is the resistance of flow and surface tension is the lateral force of the bonds between the molecules
How does temperature affect surface tension?
As the temperature rises, surface tension decreases.

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.
How do the properties of the water molecule affect surface tension?
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 does sodium carbonate affect the surface tension of water?
sodium carbonate has quite amount of salt in it. And the salt water is inversely proportional to water containing soap.Hence sodium carbonate affect the surface tension of water rather we say sodium carbonate loss the strength of the surface tension of the water.thanks by,(Arjun Babhulkar)
Why did heating the water affect the surface tension?
Surface tension is lower at higher temperatures.
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.
Does the temperature affect number of drops needed for surface tension on a penny?
the chemistry of cohesion
