When water is heated, that energy can be given to the hydrogen bonds, keeping the water cool. So, water has a high specific heat because it takes a lot of energy to heat it up. Surface tension is a result of hydrogen bonds holding the surface molecules together tightly. So the relationship between water's high specific heat and surface tension is that hydrogen bonds are responsible for both of them. If hydrogen didn't have these bonds, water's specific heat would be normal, and its surface tension negligable.

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'''.
What best describes the possible relationship between foreshadowing and a mood of suspense in a work of friction?
Foreshadowing can build tension and create a suspenseful mood.
Recently there has been great tension between India and?
Pakistan
Why is there tension between Argentina and Britain?
Because of falk land islands
What is the main tension between the two groups in the outsiders?
The Greasers and The Socs.

Is surface tension scalar or vector?
surface tension is a scalar quantity because it has no specific direction.
What is the relation between surface tension and acceleration?
i think that acceleration is directly proportional to surface tension.....
Does water have a relatively high or low surface tension?
MERCURY has a higher surface tension than water. This highest surface tension between liquids is 487 mN/m at 15 0C.
What is responsible for high surface tension and high specific heat in water?
elfuichee
What is the effect of pH on surface tension?
For most liquids, an increase in pH results in decreased surface tension. This has been attributed to lower attraction force between molecules when pH rises.
What is surface tension.?
Surface tension is defined as the elasticlike force that exists at the surface.
Why does soap reduce the surface tension of water?
Soap will lower the surface tension of water. Like any surfactant soap will lower the surface energy by disrupting the strong inter-molecular hydrogen bonding that confers such a strong surface tension to water.
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.
Why does water have higher surface tension than oil?
Because of the polarity of the water molecule, hydrogen bonds form between them. This results in the higher surface tension. Oil is nonpolar, so hydrogen bonds do not form between the molecules, so the surface tension is less.
What is the difference between buoyancy and water surface tension?
Buoyancy is the force exerted by the weight of water displaced by an object that is at least partially submerged in the water. Surface tension a force of attraction exerted between water molecules at the waters surface interface. Something can not become submerged in the water until this surface tension is broken. Surface tension is a very weak force and can be overcome physically or by changing the chemistry at the surface (adding a wetting agent).
What is the relationship between a hero and his comic foil?
Charged with sexual tension.
