Does water have greater surface tension than honey?
No. Try slapping the surface of a bowl of water and a bowl of honey.
Is soap the only substance that can break the waters surface tension?
detergents and water striders can also do that.
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 is any substance that interferes with the hydrogen bonding between water molecules and reduces surface tension?
These substances are called surfactants.
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in Liquid
Effect of Temperature on Surface Tension?
surface tension decreases with the increase of temperature
How does temperature affect surface tension?
As the temperature rises, surface tension decreases.
What is the effect of increase of temperature on surface tension?
Surface tension decreases as temperature increases.
What are surfactants?
A substance that tends to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved.
How would you expect the surface tension of water to be affected by increasing temperature?
surface tension of water is affected by temperature as it starts to evaporate when there is hot temperature but due to unnatural medium its surface starts to freeze when the temperature outside is cold,so this gives the reason that surface tension of water is affected by temperature.
Why is a substance able to flow?
Because of surface tension
What is the relationship between density and surface tension?
as we know the relation between surface tension and temperature is inverse, and that of temperature and density also has inverse proportion, then it is clear that the '''surface tension is directly proportion to the density'''.
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.
Is surface tension increases or decreases with increase in temperature?
it is because as temperature increases, the particles in the water surface move further apart thus reducing the surface tension
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 substance produced by the body lowers the surface tension of water?
Bile
Surface tension of water at different temperatures?
Surface tension of water decreases as temperature increases. At lower temperatures, water molecules are more closely packed, leading to stronger intermolecular forces and higher surface tension. As temperature rises, water molecules gain kinetic energy and move more freely, causing weaker intermolecuar attractions and lower surface tension.
