What else can I help you with?
The pull on the surface of the liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall?
It is surface tension.
Why does dawn dish soap repel pepper?
Soap breaks the surface tension of water. Pepper will only float where there is strong surface tension.
What attraction is important to water striders?
Surface tension is important to water striders because surface tension gives them the ability to float and not sink and drown.
The unit of surface tension is?
Surface tension is basically a force acting on the surface of a fluid.so the units will be newtons(N) and dimensions are MLT-2But generally we talk in terms of surface tension coefficients which is surface tension per unit length.Vishesh MadanSurface tension is perpendicular force acting per uint length of an imaginary line stretched on the surface of a liquid. Therefore, SI units will be N/m, since the value of surface tension for all liquids is very low therefore it is commonly mentioned as mN/m. Dimensions formula for surface tension will be MT-2.In another case Surface tension is also measured as work done to streach a unit surface area of a film, in that case units will be J/m2.K Singh
What might affect the size of a drop?
Surface tension
How can a mosquito walk on water?
There are several insects that can walk on water due to the water's surface tension. There are over 300 species of water striders that are able to walk on water, as well as several species of ant.
Hair of shaving brush clings together when removed from water due to?
surface tension
What property of the structure of water allows water spiders to walk across the surface of a pond?
it is when water molecules in the water form a 'wall'.Pond skaters have legs that spread out away from their bodies, lowering the pressure exerted by their weight and not breaking the surface tension of the water
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.
How do you break the surface tension?
Adding surfactants the surface tension decrease.
Does water have the highest surface tension?
No, mercury has a higher surface tension.
What is surface tension coefficient?
Surface tension coefficient, also known as surface tension, is the force acting on the surface of a liquid that causes it to behave like a stretched elastic membrane. It is a measure of the strength of the attractive forces between molecules at the surface of a liquid. The higher the surface tension, the more difficult it is to break the surface of the liquid.
What is a force that acts on particles at a liquids surface?
Surface tension is the force that acts on particles at a liquid's surface. It is caused by the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules, which creates a barrier that resists the penetration of external objects or forces. This force is responsible for phenomena such as capillary action and the formation of droplets.
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.
Is surface tension a solid liquid or gas?
Surface tension is a characteristic of liquids.
What is surface tension in hydrocarbons?
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
