Why does water form spherical droplets on some surfaces?
Because all liquids have a surface tension but water's surface tension is higher than most. The surface tension of water tends to hold a drop of liquid in a spherical shape.
What are water droplets held together by?
Surface tension Call me
What is the easy to understand definition of surfactants?
Surfactants, or surface active agents, reduce the surface tension of a liquid. What this means is it breaks the boundary on the surface of a liquid. If a bug lands on pond, the water holds it up. Actually, the water doesn't hold it up, it's the surface tension of the water holds it up. If surfactants are added to the water, the surface tension is broken up, and the bug would sink.
The surface of water can act like a sort of skin due to a property of liquids called?
Surface tension.
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)
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.
How is the surface tension of water affected by soap?
the surface tension has bonds, and the soap breaks those bonds, so if the soap water is put onto a surface.. it will slip off
When water is deeper does it have a thicker water surface tension?
No, surface tension is a phenomenon of a single outer layer of molecules, so it is not affected by the depth of the water underneath it.
What are pharmaceutical applications of surface tension?
application of surface tension
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in Liquid
What is surface tension coefficient?
define coefficient of surface tension
What liquid have the strongest surface tension?
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
What is the effect of sodium chloride on the surface tension of water?
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
What is the relationship between flotation and surface tension?
surface tension relates with flotation in that the stronger the surface tension, the easier an object will float.
How do you break the surface tension?
Adding surfactants the surface tension decrease.
What is the effect of fats on surface tension?
Fats can lower surface tension
Does water have the highest surface tension?
No, mercury has a higher surface tension.
