There is an effect on Surface Tension when detergent is put in the water. I am doing an experiment for my upcoming Science fair and i am doing a Detergent Powered Boat/Surface Tension...I have tested it many times with and without detergent, when it doesn't have detergent it floats and then sinks after 5 seconds but with detergent it zips through the water...I can not give you the reason for this as i am myself still researching on why this is!
What else can I help you with?
What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension of milk?
since milk has water as a main component, water has surface tension as the forces adhesion( sticks to stuff like the side of the glass) are stronger that the cohesion (makes water keep to itself) forces
What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension?
Detergent has the effect of reducing the size of the water molecules thereby reducing the surface tension of the water. This allows for the small water molecules to integrate themselves farther into fabric to remove contaminants.
Surface tension of water on adding detergent to it?
Decrease
Surface tension of water on adding detergent?
Well If you have a pie pan filled with milk and then drop 4 diffrent colors of food coloring droped in but not touching then get a tooth pick with detergent on it and touch it in the foodcoloring will swirl out like tie die in the pan.
True or false Addition of a detergent to water increases the surface tension of the water?
False. Addition of a detergent to water decreases the surface tension of the water by disrupting the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, allowing it to spread out more easily and interact with other substances.

What does detergent do to the surface tension of water?
It weakens the surface tension of water allowing us to blow BUBBLES!! :D
Why pepper separate to detergent?
Pepper separates from detergent due to differences in density and surface tension. When pepper is added to water mixed with detergent, the detergent reduces the surface tension of the water, allowing the pepper to spread out more easily. The pepper, being less dense, floats on the surface, while the detergent molecules disrupt the water's cohesive forces, preventing the pepper from clumping together. This separation illustrates the effects of surface tension and density in mixtures.
What is the effect of detergent to the growth of monggo plants?
because the detergent contains the chemical substance known as surfactant, this substance helps reduce the surface tension of a liquid that is dissolve in, this will help on the growth of monggo plant..

Effect of Temperature on Surface Tension?
surface tension decreases with the increase of temperature
Why is it that a needle may float on a clean water but sink when detergent is added to the water?
When a needle is placed on clean water, it can float due to surface tension, which is the cohesive force between water molecules at the surface. However, when detergent is added to the water, it reduces the surface tension by disrupting the cohesive forces between water molecules. This decrease in surface tension causes the needle to sink as the water can no longer support its weight.
What causes detergent to lower the surface tension of water?
Some mood music.
What happened to the needle when you added 2-3 drops of the detergent solution?
If you have floated a needle on the surface of the water in a glass then adding a little detergent will cause the needle to sink. This is because the presence of the detergent changes the surface tension of the water so that it can no longer support the needle.
