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

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.


What Is the force that acts on the particles of milk at the surface of a glass of milk?

I just did this science worksheet and its surface tension. Yeah. Hope I helped. Bye.


What makes dish soap separate food coloring in a bowl of milk?

It is a science experiment on surface tension in liquids, where drops of food coloring are placed into a shallow plateful of milk. The coloring drops (being lighter, water-based liquids) will usually just stay put due to the surface tension of the milk (which is a denser colloid of fat molecules).You can dip a cotton swab in dish soap, then gently touch the swab to the surface near the drops. Or you can drop a drop of soap into the center of the milk.Adding a little soap will break the surface tension of the milk by dissolving some of the fat. When this happens, the moving surface of the milk will disperse the food coloring drops away from the soap, possibly even down into the milk. You can get a spectacular moving color display as the coloring drops break up and fan out.


Why does whole milk react with hand soap?

Whole milk reacts with hand soap because hand soap typically contains surfactants that lower the surface tension of water, allowing it to penetrate fats and oils. When whole milk, which contains fats, comes into contact with hand soap, the surfactants in the soap help break down the fats in the milk, causing them to separate from the liquid. This is why you may observe some curdling or separation when whole milk and hand soap are mixed.


Do milk and detergent mix?

Theoretically yes. The detergant is an emulsifier so it should mix with any liquid.

Why does a q-tip with dish detergent on it make color dye mixed in milk go away?

The dish detergent breaks down the surface tension of the milk. This disrupts the molecules of the color dye, causing it to disperse and mix more evenly with the milk, making it appear as though the color has "disappeared."


What makes dish soap break up the fat in milk?

Dish soap is just detergent, meaning it breaks up the fat in milk which makes it move rapid. And the food coloring is just to make it noticeable. Soap breaks down the surface tension of the water molecules in milk.


Which liquid has the lowest surface tension?

if you are doing a science project......you might wanna try diffrent liquids on the effect of (surface tension).... milk water juice paperclip water is best for the atraction of ST. milk and the juice is what reduces ST the best The body contains a natural surface tension reducing substance called surfactant.It is found in the lungs and prevents the lungs from collapsing due to surface tension when you exhale

How does dish detergent work in milk?

I don't understand why you would put detergent in milk.


What happens when you add detergent to milk?

When detergent is added to milk, it disrupts the milk's fat molecules, causing them to separate from the liquid. This creates a visible separation between the milk and the fat, resulting in a mixture that looks like curdled milk. The detergent breaks down the fat globules, allowing them to combine and form larger clumps.

it make it expaned by thee ingredents in the dish soup and the surface tension and sulfur.

homogeneisation
