surface tension is a product of cohesive forces (eg. water to water forces in a bubble) whereas capillary actionis a product of adhesive forces (eg. water climbing up a thin glass tube)
What else can I help you with?
A consequence of the surface tension of water is what?
capillary action is a common consequence of surface tension.
Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
Uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid?
Surface Tension
What is the relation between surface tension and acceleration?
i think that acceleration is directly proportional to surface tension.....
What are the eight properties of water?
The eight properties of water are cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, lower density as a solid, universal solvent, high surface tension, and capillary action. These properties make water essential for life and various natural processes.
A consequence of the surface tension of water is what?
capillary action is a common consequence of surface tension.
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
What creates surface tension and capillary actions?
water cycles
Why does surface tension and capillary action occur in water?
because of the gravity
When you dissolve something in water does that change its capillary action or surface tension?
yes
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.
What is the difference between liquids with high surface tension and liquids with low surface tension?
Liquids with high surface tension have stronger forces between their molecules at the surface, causing them to form droplets and resist spreading. Liquids with low surface tension have weaker forces, allowing them to spread out more easily and wet surfaces.
Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
What property causes water to curve?
The property that causes water to curve is surface tension. Surface tension is a result of the cohesive forces between water molecules, creating a thin "film" on the surface of the water that resists penetration. This surface tension causes water to form droplets and exhibit behaviors like capillary action.
Whta is capillary water?
The capillary effect in water is the tendency for water to travel up a surface such as a tube. It does this because water molecules are attracted to each other which also causes the phenomenon called surface tension.
How do you measure surface tension and what methods are commonly used for this measurement?
Surface tension is measured by determining the force required to break the surface of a liquid. Common methods for measuring surface tension include the drop weight method, the capillary rise method, and the maximum bubble pressure method.
Uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid?
