define coefficient of surface tension
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
capillary action is a common consequence of surface tension.
Surface tension.
Viscosity is the resistance of flow and surface tension is the lateral force of the bonds between the molecules. Of course, viscosity is resistance of flow and surface tension of lateral force but viscosity is s display of frictional force during laminar flow caused due to intermolecular forces. The surface tension is a function of cohesive forces generated by intermolecular forces among similar molecules. Very rightly since both the parameters are dynamic in natures and hence a 3rd parameter noted as friccohesity is most advanced version of the contribution of the intermolecular forces operational in liquid dynamic behavior. The friccohesity along with surface tension, viscosity, wetting coefficient, interfacial tension are measured with borosil mansingh survismeter.
it affects the surface tension because of its temperture
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
Adding surfactants the surface tension decrease.
No, mercury has a higher surface tension.
Time of students and resources of country are valuable and all efforts must be made to save and make smart use. Since inception of surface tension, interfacial tension, wetting coefficient, surface area and viscosity are being measured with individual apparatuses with manifolds wastages. There was no combination and permutation of the measuring devices for centuries but now Singapore and Indian Govts patents numbers 126089 and 232429 respectively offer survismeter for measurements together with 95% saving. The universities, technological institutes and R & D centers must take note of this invention in national interests and for fascination of science.
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.
surface tension decreases with the increase of temperature
As the temperature rises, surface tension decreases.
Surface tension is a characteristic of liquids.
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
The scientific name for surface tension is interfacial tension. It refers to the property of a liquid that causes its surface to act like a thin, elastic sheet.
The surface tension of water is higher than that of most other liquids. Water has a surface tension of 7.29 * 10-2 J/m2 at 20oC.
Surface tension is defined as the elasticlike force that exists at the surface.
